It's also one of the top rated plants for removing air pollutants from the air and because of its almost insatiable appetite for water it pumps out large amounts of water vapor into the nearby air, thereby increasing humidity. | 3D-S | |  |  |  |  |

| | | |  | Nephrolepis exaltata ‘Fluffy Ruffles’ is a variety of Boston fern with light ruffled fronds and a compact growth habit. This cultivar does not produce spores, and reproduced through rhizomes that spread through soil. Like most ferns, ‘Fluffy Ruffles’ will do best with extra humidity and out of direct sunlight. | 3D-S | |  |  |  |  |

| | | |  | The relatively new cultivar ‘˜Nevada®‘™ is a serious contender for ‘˜True Boston's‘™ place at the top, especially when planted in larger pots. It scores slightly higher on a number of points. For example, for its extremely rapid growth habit, uniformity and the sturdiness of its erect fronds, as well as for its overall strength and hardiness. Although not fully hardy ‘˜Nevada®‘™ will thrive on the patio. A top product by any standard, its quality underlined by the lovely, dark green color. | 3D-S | |  |  |  |  |

| Fern (Christmas) | Polystichum acrostichoides | |  | Evergreen, dark, shiny green fronds are leathery and lance-shaped and divided with holly-like leaflets.
Typically grows in asymmetric fountain like clump. Young fiddleheads in spring have a silver sheen. This plant is given the common name Christmas fern because its evergreen fronds maintain their vibrant green color even at Christmas time, when the weather in its native range gets extremely cold, and can thus be used in decorations. | 12A-S | |  |  |  |  |

| Fern (Ghost Painted) | Athyrium x | |  | A hybrid cross between Japanese Painted fern (A. niponicum ‘Pictum’) and Lady Fern (A. filix-femina), this selection sports stunning frosted apple green fronds that seem to emit a ghostly white light in the shade. Dark purple stems hold the broad fronds rigidly upright. This selection is taller than many other Athyriums and is more tolerant of dry soil. | 12A-S | |  |  |  |  |

| Fern (Giant Sword) | Nephrolepis biserrata | |  | This big, brawny fern sports bright green fronds with bold, broad leaves and makes its relatives, Boston fern and Kimberly Queen fern, look little by comparison. Macho fern is ideal for large urns or planters where it has room to flex its graceful 3- to 4-foot-long fronds. It's ideal for decorating shaded or partly shaded front porches, patios, and other outdoor living areas. In the fall, you can bring your macho fern indoors and place it a bright spot out of direct sun to grow as a houseplant. Ferns thrive on humidity, so daily misting in winter months and a gravel and water-filled saucer beneath the pot in warmer months are highly recommended. | 3D-S | |  |  |  |  |

| Fern (Japanese Painted - Giant) | Athyrium niponicum pictum | |  | Like Athyrium n. ‘Pictum’ on steroids, this giant painted fern was discovered at Plant Delights Nursery in the mid-90s and is thought to be a sporeling of ‘Pictum’ and the Lady Fern. It forms a massive, arching clump of silvery fronds with green highlights and dark purple stems. Like the Lady Fern, ‘Godzilla’ spreads slowly where it is happiest in moist, loamy soils. Grow this fern as a low maintenance filler in shady borders combined with large hostas and Aralia ‘Sun King’. | 12A-S | |  |  |  |  |

| Fern (Ostrich) | Matteuccia struthiopteris | |  | One of the largest and most popular ferns in cultivation today. The dark green, pinnate fronds are shaped like ostrich plumes, being much wider at the top and tapering down to a bare stipe. The first set of leaves is sterile and has a gracefully arching form. These leaves can reach heights of 6’ in ideal environments. This set of leaves dies back by early to midsummer and is replaced by a set of fertile, dark green leaves which are about half the height of the sterile ones. These leaves turn a shiny bronze-gold in fall, becoming brown in winter. | 12A-S | |  |  |  |  |

| Fern (Wood) | Dryopteris wallichiana | |  | Every new frond is a treasure on Jurassic Gold. While they mature into the lush, lively green that made ferns popular, the new growth starts out in an exquisite orangey tone that's totally unique. Plant it in with a mix of ferns, and the random streaks of fiery color will keep the whole mix interesting. With that mix, you could coat a shady woodland garden in verdant beauty. On the other hand, you could add Jurassic Gold to a shade border as an easy, low–maintenance feature. Ferns are popular for container gardening—try this one either as a colorful, graceful filler in a mixed container or centerstage in a container of its own. Jurassic Gold has already gotten itself a fair bit of critical acclaim. It won Best New Plant at Hort Week Awards in 2019, and second place at the Farwest Trade Show in 2020. | 12A-S | |  |  |  |  |
