Petticoat Fern

Petticoat Fern is a lush, elegant fern known for its soft, arching fronds with beautifully ruffled edges that resemble layers of a petticoat—hence the name. It adds a fresh, tropical vibe to indoor spaces and works wonderfully as a floor plant, table plant, or in bright bathrooms and balconies.
