Description

The Mother Fern is an evergreen fern with lacy, light green fronds that reach 3' in height, often with miniature "babies" produced along the margins of the fronds. It should receive part sun to shade, with average watering. It is not frost hardy, and like most ferns, does excellent in containers. -Monterey Bay Nursery

Water Saving Tip:

Apply a layer of mulch around plants to reduce moisture loss.

Choose organic mulches, such as shredded bark, compost or aged sawdust.
