Common Name: Variegated Boston Fern
Scientific Name: Nephrolepis exalta 'Tiger Fern'
Bring bold texture and unexpected pattern into your home with the Tiger Fern. Unlike traditional Boston ferns, this unique variety features arching fronds splashed with chartreuse and deep green striping that resembles tiger markings, giving every plant its own one-of-a-kind appearance.
Its graceful form softens shelves, brightens tabletops, and makes a stunning statement in hanging baskets where its cascading foliage can be fully appreciated. While it looks exotic, the Tiger Fern is surprisingly easy to grow with consistent moisture and bright, indirect light.
Perfect for adding a lush, tropical feel to living rooms, bedrooms, offices, or covered patios during the warmer months.
