About this plant
The Boston Fern is an elegant Victorian favorite, sometimes called the Sword fern. It has graceful, arching, green fronds with a ruffled appearance that is best displayed in a hanging basket or on a stand where it can cascade over the edge.
The Boston Fern will not only bring an air of calm to your home. It is one of the best known plants for purifying the air and regulating humidity.
