Phlebodium aureum - Blue Star Fern

Market price from $3.60 to $5.35

Phlebodium aureum is a delightful choice for your indoor or outdoor plant collection, known to many as the Rabbit's Foot Fern. Commanding attention with its light blue-green fronds, this beautiful perennial stands at an impressive height, growing up to 3 feet tall. A quilt of feathery foliage extends elegantly from its core, showcasing the plant's gentle splendor and lending a touch of tropical decadence to any space. The Rabbit's Foot Fern not only boasts visual allure, but also a remarkable feature that sets it apart—curious, downy rhizomes that uncannily resemble a rabbit's foot. These drape over the side of the plant pot, presenting intrigue and enhancing the fern's natural allure. But beauty isn't its only strength. Versatility is part of its charm, as it prospers in a wide spectrum of light conditions, from the subtle ambience of indoors to the luminosity of outdoors. Keep it happy with a moderate watering regimen—intensified during its growing season, and enjoy its refreshing presence even under inconsistent watering. In the garden or in your living room, the Rabbit's Foot Fern makes a statement of grace, resilience and singular beauty.
