New York Fern

Botanical Name: Thelypteris novaboracensis Description: One of the easiest to grow, you can quickly fill any shady space with this lush fern. Throughout the season bright, yellow-green fronds open and gracefully taper at both ends for an elegant form. Vigorous and strong, it produces long runners to increase rapidly. Though most ferns like moist shade, this variety will thrive even in dry areas. Excellent in woodland gardens, it naturalizes well, and provides a beautiful showcase for other shade plants like hostas, begonias and foxgloves. Makes a beautiful filler with roses and lilies in indoor arrangements. Ferns prefer shade with indirect sunlight and high humidity. Moist, well-drained soil.
