Annuals

Boston Fern  is a classic and popular fern species prized for its lush, feathery fronds and graceful arching growth habit.

Light Requirement: Boston Fern thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can scorch its delicate fronds. Variegation may become less pronounced in low light.

Watering Requirement: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water Boston Fern thoroughly when the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil feels dry to the touch. Mist the foliage regularly to increase humidity and prevent dehydration, especially in dry indoor environments.

Mature Size: Boston Fern typically grows to a height and width of 1 to 3 feet (30 to 90 cm), forming a dense, bushy clump of fronds. It can spread via rhizomes, gradually expanding its size over time.

 This is a low maintenance annual and will bring stunning colors and artful accents to outdoor spaces.
