Ecological Benefits

Maintenance Tips

  • Prefers consistently moist to wet soil; ensure regular watering, especially in dry periods.
  • Cut back old fronds in late winter to early spring to make way for new growth.
  • Thrives in rich, humus-rich, well-drained soils; amend with organic matter to maintain fertility.
  • Apply a layer of mulch to retain soil moisture and keep roots cool.
  • Divide clumps every few years in early spring to control spread and rejuvenate growth.
  • Experienced foragers can collect and eat newly emerging fronds, called "fiddleheads," in spring. A great way to control spread if required and done safely!
