Not widely grown, Matteuccia orientalis offers an interesting addition or alternative to the Ostrich Fern in a shady, sheltered position with cool moist, preferably neutral to soil, where it will slowly spread via runners. Does not appreicate hot climates. A beautiful and very impressive fern! Ferns can be grown very successfully in pots and containers as long as you can reproduce the basic requirements, and especially the need for constant moisture.
