Fern 'Lemon Button'

Fern 'Lemon Button'

Botanical Name: Nephrolepis cordifolia

Common Name(s): Boston Fern, Lemon Button 'Duffii'

Description: The Lemon Button Fern is a charming and compact member of the Boston fern family, bringing a touch of lush greenery to any space. 

Unlike its larger relatives, this petite beauty typically grows to just about a foot tall, making it a perfect choice for small spaces, terrariums, or decorative hanging planters. Its round, button-like leaflets give it a delicate, whimsical appearance, and when brushed, they release a subtle lemony scent—hence the name!

This adaptable little fern thrives both indoors and outdoors, adding a fresh, vibrant look to flowerbeds, tabletops, or bookshelves. Like its cousin, the Jester’s Crown Fern, it prefers indirect sunlight and a consistently moist environment. A humidity lover at heart, it does best when misted regularly or placed near a humidifier. 

Whether you're a seasoned plant enthusiast or just starting your indoor jungle, the Lemon Button Fern is an easygoing, delightful addition that brightens any room!
