Notes

'Emerald Vase' Boston fern (Nephrolepis exaltata 'Emerald Vase') is a fern for containers, accents, and shade gardens. This plant likes full shade, average moisture, and loamy soil. The cascading fronds grow at a rapid rate. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It is evergreen, so you can hang it where the fronds can spill over the edge.

Pairs well with Candidum angel wings, ColorBlaze Lime Time coleus, and Sparkler sedge.
