Eighteen artificial Boston ferns with fronds cut at different lengths, which is what keeps them convincing from a few steps back. The polyethylene is UV stabilized and takes rain without fading. Drop them into planters, baskets or a wall frame and the job is finished.

A living fern wants shade, humidity and attention, and most porches supply none of the three. These hold their shape and color through a summer and a winter alike. There is no season where they look sorry for themselves.
Planting that stays finished once you walk away from it.

Open the fronds out by hand first, since they arrive pressed flat in the box. Group several stems together in one container instead of spacing them evenly, which is closer to how ferns actually grow. A rinse with the hose once or twice a year clears the dust.


Fill the pots and forget about them.
