Plant Bio

Nephrolepis exaltata ‘Bostoniensis’

Said to have been discovered as a sport in 1894, Boston Fern is popular today as a deck/patio plant and as a houseplant. It’s frequently grown in hanging baskets where it can be hung on shaded front porches. The plant’s finely textured arching fronds have a graceful look that naturally fits in with a range of architectural and décor styles. Like most ferns, keep it from drying out, especially in hot, windy weather or low-humidity conditions indoors. While Boston Fern is a specific variety, the species Nephrolepis exaltata is native to subtropical areas of North, Central, and South America, including Florida.

Note: This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Additionally, exposure to the sap of this plant may cause discomfort to individuals with a sensitivity to it upon contact. Grown for ornamental purposes and not intended for human or animal consumption.
