Boston Fern Hanging Basket

Boston Fern Hanging Basket (Nephrolepis exaltata ‘Bostoniensis’) is a lush, trailing fern prized for its abundant, arching fronds of bright green foliage. It typically forms a cascade 60–90 cm (24–36 in) long and 45–60 cm (18–24 in) wide, thriving in part shade to full shade in rich, moist, well-drained soil with high humidity. Hardy in Canadian zones 9–11 as an outdoor perennial; grown as a container or indoor plant in cooler zones, it delivers year-round greenery and air-purifying benefits.
