Boston Fern

Description:

Boston fern is an upright, herbaceous, evergreen plant, that varies greatly in size. Its arching fronds may be as small as 6", or as large as 7'. Plants commonly spread from 2' to 3' wide, although this varies as well.

Habitat:

Boston fern is a shade-tolerant plant that grows best in moist soils and warm, humid conditions. It is found near swamps, forests, damp hammocks and along roadsides. While it prefers well-drained soil, it can also grow as an air plant, attaching itself to cabbage palms and other trees.
