Here are some famous ferns…..
Boston Fern
(Montana)
Boston Fern also known as sword fern, is a popular fern species that grows in many tropical areas around the world. In North America, it is considered a classic houseplant and is easy to care for, as it doesn’t require a lot of sunlight. Outdoors, this plant thrives in swampy, humid, and forested areas, and makes a good choice for partial-shade gardens in places like Southern California or Florida. Its sword-shaped, blue-green foliage contains tiny leaflets and grows erect, arching only when fronds grow larger. Like several other fern species, Boston fern is a slow grower and is best planted outdoors in the fall or spring or indoors year-round.

Lady Fern
(Athyrium filix)
Athyrium filix-femina, the Lady Fern or common lady-fern, is a large, feathery species of Asia, Europe, North Africa, Canada and the US. It is often abundant (one of the more common ferns) in damp, shady environments and is often grown for decoration.
Its common names “lady fern” and “female fern” refer to how its reproductive structures are concealed in an inconspicuous – deemed “female” – manner on the frond. Alternatively, it is said to be feminine because of its elegant and graceful appearance.
Blue Fern
(Phlebodium Aureum)
This funky fern has sturdy, elongated, blue-green fronds that curl as they grow and spill out of their pot, making them wonderful hanging plants for a slightly shady corner.
Their crinkly leaves change depending on how they catch the light and can appear blue or green, this creates depth and movement and makes them one of the most popular ferns around.
Maidenhair ferns
(Adiantum raddianum)
Maidenhair ferns (Adiantum raddianum) are deciduous ferns known for their delicate, fan-shaped leaf segments clustered on wiry black stems.
They’re a popular houseplant known for their attractive foliage and compact size. Maidenhair ferns can grow anywhere from one to two feet tall and wide at maturity, with a lifespan of around 15 years.
Asparagus Fern
(Asparagus densiflorus)
Asparagus ferns look lovely tumbling from a shelf or plant stand, or in a hanging planter. They also look good grouped with other plants, especially those with contrasting leaf shapes.
If an asparagus fern is especially happy, it may produce small white flowers and berries, but it’s really grown for its foliage.
