Fern Kimberly Queen

Fern Kimberly Queen (Nephrolepis obliterata ‘Kimberly Queen’) is a striking tropical fern known for its long, arching fronds and rich, deep green foliage. Its elegant, symmetrical growth habit creates a graceful, cascading effect, making it a standout in shaded garden beds, borders, patios, or container displays. Unlike smaller ferns, Kimberly Queen produces robust, dense foliage that adds texture, volume, and a tropical feel to landscapes and interiors alike.

Thriving in partial to full shade, Fern Kimberly Queen prefers warm, humid climates and sheltered locations where it can maintain consistent moisture. Its low-maintenance nature and adaptability make it an excellent choice for both residential and commercial landscapes. This fern enhances garden layers, softens hardscapes, and pairs beautifully with flowering perennials or other tropical plants, providing year-round greenery and elegance.

Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in partial to full shade with adequate spacing for airflow. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.

Watering:
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly during hot, dry periods to maintain lush growth.

Pruning:
Remove dead, yellowing, or damaged fronds to promote healthy new growth and a tidy appearance.

Pest Control:
Generally pest-resistant. Occasionally check for scale, spider mites, or mealybugs and treat with insecticidal soap if needed.

Soil Tips:
Plant in rich, well-draining soil with high organic matter. Slightly acidic to neutral soil supports vibrant foliage and strong root development.
