Boston Fern

Nephrolepis exaltata

Feathery Foliage

Since gaining popularity in the Victorian era, Boston Ferns have become a staple houseplant, prized for their large, elegant fronds and trailing habit.

In summertime, large hanging baskets are often used as porch décor; however, in cooler regions they must be overwintered indoors. As a potted plant, they can grow up to 2-3 feet high and spread up to 2-3 feet wide, so make sure to place this plant in a partially shady spot where it has room to spread and grow.
