Three Bare Root Ostrich Ferns Fiddlehead Matteuccia Struthiopteris Perennial Wildflower Transplant You will receive three Bare Root Ostrich Ferns. Because there will be no foilage attached to the roots, we are able to offer these lovely plants at a price that is affordable. The day we ship, our plants are harvested from our farm to ensure their health. These are live starter plants that do not come in pots, and the foliage is cut back before being shipped. The plants will regrow as a result of this, and we ship within 1-3 days of purchase. Due to the higher volume of sales in the spring, we may experience longer shipping times.
