Also known as: Australian Sword Fern, Kimberly Fern, Sword Fern

Kimberly Queen Fern is a lush, upright fern known for its long, deep green fronds and naturally structured growth. Native to Australia, it has a fuller, more vertical shape than the classic Boston Fern, making it a beautiful choice for porches, patios, shaded garden spaces, and bright indoor areas. This versatile indoor and outdoor fern grows best in bright indirect light to partial shade with consistently moist soil. Its dense foliage and tidy growth make Kimberly Queen Fern an easy way to add fresh texture and tropical greenery to any space.

care

Place in bright indirect light indoors or dappled shade outdoors. Keep soil evenly moist and never let it fully dry out. Feed once or twice a year with a balanced fertilizer to support healthy, lush growth. Remove any brown or damaged fronds at the base as needed to keep the plant looking fresh. In cooler climates, bring container plants indoors before temperatures drop below 55°F.
