Foxtail Fern

Foxtail Fern was the one "MUST HAVE" in our lanai design. Both Molly and Fiona simply had to have it. Non-negotiable. Who can resist the fuzzy things?!

They're known to be low-maintenance, although I see many around town that look scraggly. A strong and extensive root system can dominate other plants, but that's why it's so hardy apparently.

Foxtail Ferns are good in flower arrangements, because they last a couple weeks at least after being picked.

Fertilize this guy in growing season with slow-release granular type at start of spring, summer, and fall.

How are my Foxtail Ferns doing?
2020-11-10: So far so good after an initial planting by Jacob and Shonene, of course. Right now, they're small, but 2 or 3 feet in size might make that planter start to feel small. Time will tell.
