Oh my! A 7 foot ostrich fern?

This is the first year I've noticed this being offered, but I'm sure it's been around a while. I just wasn't looking - Matteuccia struthiopteris 'The King'. I'm sure 7 feet tall would be under optimum conditions, but still even the possibility of such a monster is tempting. I just don't know where I would put it.

Any experience?

Fantastic! I'd be all over that if I had the right spot for it :0)
