Fern Macho

About this product

The Macho Fern (Nephrolepis biserrata) is a bold, fast-growing tropical fern prized for its long, arching fronds that can reach several feet in mature containers. Grown in a convenient P10 pot and sold per piece, it delivers instant lush, textural greenery for shaded patios and porches. Its dramatic scale makes it a strong seasonal upsell for retail displays and landscape installs.
