Kimberly Queen Fern
Nephrolepis obliterataDescription
Kimberly Queen Fern, also known as Australian Sword Fern is tougher than other ferns, tolerating heat, high and low humidity, and even full sun as long as it gets plenty of water. With upright fronds that are unaffected by wind and rain, this elegant fern is perfect for outdoor planters. We recommend putting your Queen Fern in the front of your home...you are going to want to show this fabulous plant off!
Indoors the Kimberly Queen Fern is a natural air purifier. It filters out many toxins in the air while adding healthy oxygen to your home. It will thrive just about anywhere in your home as long as you take care to avoid drafts.
Kimberly Queen Ferns are an upscale choice for adding property value. This isn't your generic hanging basket Boston fern. This fern is perfect for framing your entryway. The upright leaves allow this fern to be a perfect specimen plant surrounded by smaller plants in large planters. Liriope and Asiatic Jasmine are nice complements. The Kimberly Queen fern adds softness and color to your porch or patio. You will love sitting next to this plant in your rocking chair while you sip some lemonade and enjoy a warm day.
Kimberly Queen Ferns thrive in part sun to full shade. This fern is also known to do well in fun sun, but it requires humidity and more regular waterings. Indoors, place your Queen Fern where it will receive at least a touch of natural light. This plant needs watered when the soil begins to dry out. Add our balanced, slow release fertilizer when planting, in early spring, and late summer/early fall for best results.
Kimberly Queen Ferns are hardy in zones 9-11. Cooler climates can plant in containers for the patio and move them inside in the winter to enjoy them year after year. These ferns can also be treated as an annual in zones 8 and colder. This fern is deer, rabbit, disease, and pest resistant.
