Nephrolepis exaltata ‘Rita’s Gold’ Boston Gold Fern (tender)

Description

Slightly more compact than classic Boston ferns, this golden-leaved selection features striking chartreuse fronds that prefer shade but will tolerate intermittent sun. It shimmers from a distance and blends beautifully with impatiens, begonias, and caladiums in mixed containers.

In the garden, grow in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained, hummusy soil in partial shade. If grown as a house plant, grow in bright filtered light in a humid area with good ventilation. Water sparingly in winter.
