Description
A fern is any one of a group of about 12,000 species of plants. Unlike mosses they have xylem and phloem (making them vascular plants). They have stems, leaves, and roots like other vascular plants. Ferns do not have either seeds or flowers (they reproduce via spores). Botanical Name: Pteris ensiformis cv. Evergemiensis Common Name: Silver Lace Fern, Slender Brake Fern Family name: Pteridaceae Light: Semi-shade to full shade with preference to bright indirect light or dappled sunlight. Do not expose it to full sun. Moisture: Regular watering as it requires an abundance of water and high humidity. Soil: Moist soil but well drained. Ideally medium light, loamy and neutral to acidic. This remarkable fern with its beautiful variegated splendour is another of our highly admired beauty among the foliage plants that thrive in our house. It is excellent as a houseplant in hanging baskets/pots, or as table fern in small containers, as well as in combination planter in any garden setting or patio. Ideal too as a decorative plant on trellis or ornamental outdoor fern in shade gardens and woodland gardens. As a groundcover plant in mixed borders, it ll add beauty with its stunning foliage. It is hardy in zones 9-11, elsewhere grow as a house plant.

The fern looked like the photo when it arrived in cold upstate New York. The plants were well-packaged , so the winter weather did not effect them. I am enjoying the fern which fits perfectly in the black speckled pot from Hirts Gardens, too.

Silver lace ferns. I just got 2 to add to my fern family (rabbits foot,blue star, staghorn and birds nest). The silver lace ferns arrived ahead of schedule and in fantastic shape. The pot tops were taped over to keep soil in, and each plant was wrapped in bubble wrap (with top open) to protect the plants in their box. I’m very pleased (again) with my purchase from the dealer.
