Massii True Boston Fern | Nephrolepis exaltata ‘Massii’ | True Boston Fern | Sword Fern ‘Massii’
Massii True Boston Fern is a classic, shade‑loving evergreen fern (grown as a houseplant or annual in cooler climates) prized for its lush, arching, emerald‑green fronds that cascade gracefully as they mature. This vigorous selection from the Nephrolepis family is known for its fast‑growing, pendulous habit, exceptional air‑purifying qualities, and dense, textural display year‑round. Its vibrant foliage creates a lush, tropical atmosphere, making it a standout choice for hanging baskets, elevated plant stands, shaded porches, and bright indoor spaces. With its elegant form and reliable performance in warm, humid conditions, Massii True Boston Fern offers timeless beauty and lush greenery with minimal maintenance.
Growing Massii True Boston Fern
Light: Bright, indirect light to partial shade; thrives indoors near a bright window with filtered light or outdoors in dappled shade, but requires strict protection from harsh, direct sunlight to prevent frond scorch.
Soil: Rich, well‑drained soil; highly adaptable but performs best in fertile, peat‑based potting mixtures that retain even moisture.
Water: Moderate to high; water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as it does not tolerate drying out completely. Appreciates frequent misting or high humidity environments.
Maintenance: Remove any dead or browning fronds at the base to keep the plant looking tidy and encourage healthy new growth.
Wildlife: Grown primarily for its ornamental foliage; generally resistant to deer and rabbits when grown outdoors.
Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 10–12; grown as an annual or overwintered indoors as a houseplant in cooler regions.
Shipping Info
Massii True Boston Fern plants are shipped as healthy young starts in 4" or 6" nursery pots. Allow 1–2 weeks after arrival for plants to recover from shipping and resume active growth before repotting or planting outdoors.

Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 464 reviews.
My banana plant arrived perfectly protected and ready to plant. Thank you Blossomdale for taking great care of my baby banana plant!!
The fig trees arrived today in small pots very well packed. I removed them and watered them. I will let them "rest" for 4 to 5 days before I repot them and prepare them for winter, inside. Very pleased with these trees. After getting other sellers rotten packing jobs this was a real treat. I may buy more in the spring of 2027.
Packed so well! I was surprised how many flowers my orange ones had! Will definitely buy from them again! My original ordered flowers were out of stock and I received an email about replacements. I love them!
Very healthy and beautiful
Healthy and beautiful! A little smaller than I expected.
I was very impressed with how well my 18 little lantanas were packed. All looked healthy and I planted them yesterday. It was a little difficult unpacking them but that’s the price I paid for having you pack them so well. I was a little worried when I saw UPS coming to the door with the box slung over the driver’s shoulder despite the fact that the box was marked with an ⬆️ and it said live plants. But all is well. Now if I can just keep them alive.
Lovely little guy-- impossible to find coral honeysuckle at my local nursery for whatever reason. I really appreciate that the Blossomdale staff kept it and nurtured it a little longer so it would be more robust for the trip. Can't wait to put it in the ground and watch it thrive :-) Will order from them again.
The mahoi double banana tree delivered on time, perfectly protected from shipping damage, and ready to plant. Love my new banana tree!
It was my very first plant I order online so I wasn’t sure what to expect but when it got here and in one piece and as long as it is I was shocked but very HAPPY.
It's doing really well. I will be transferring it to a bigger pot probably by the weekend. I wish I had a little more instructions on how to care for this variety, and what to do in the fall.
Plants arrived fine.. got them planted. Now i will let you know next spring. If they survive and grow back.. So far, i am ok with them
Erigeron Karvinskianus Fleabane ‘Santa Barbara/Mexican Daisy'
Just waiting for when they get big and tall and start producing bananas.
Plant arrived quickly and came in good shape!
Package came delivered just like it said it would I pulled it out it looked good. I put it in some water for about a half hour and put it in my 30 gallon tub and I got three things to go with it.
Banana tree came nice and healthy and ready to go!

Haven’t transplanted yet, but it’s a beautiful plant. We are gifting it to a friend that moved…Friendship Plant is very appropriate!
I love it
Truly tiny is still tiny but healthy!
It seems to be doing well but could have been packed better.
Blossom Dale did a wonderful job with packaging and Sedum Autumn Joy plants arrived in great condition and are thriving. So far so good.
The milkweed is not doing well...
Very healthy cutting. Followed the instructions and let it get acclimated to its new surroundings for a couple of weeks before repotting. Would not hesitate to purchase from this business again 😃
Plants arrived in great condition. This plant has only been in the ground about 10 days and is growing a lot. The plant cage is 12” tall so it’s doing well. I put guards around my new plants for a little while because I have bunnies who love tender young leaves.
Got this for my wife’s birthday. Plan to pot it soon.
I got 2 mystery plants (one indoor and one outdoor). The indoor was a pilea and the outdoor plant was a white blackberry. White blackberry was dramatic, but it’s making a comeback and the pilea is doing great!
Came in well packed and the plant was alive and healthy!
Even though the newest leaf was broken off it seems to be doing well
My little banana arrived happy and healthy!
The plant arrived well packaged with instructions on how to get started. It had been doing really well and has been growing like a weed!
It is just putting roots down now.
Received in great condition, transplanted just before heavy rain and its thriving
Just a little shock put her in a fabric pot on the back porch full sun should be happy thank you for the lovely plant
Fair price good looking plant can’t wait for it to get bigger!
Need to upgrade your packaging. I would suggest taping the plant in place in the cardboard tube on the count that it slid and smashed itself. Luckily, it's a strong plant and should recover. Hoping.for the best.
So Beautiful. Packaged well . Love my little guy.
It’s so cool I love it!!!
She is doing well even after a rough delivery. She is thriving and putting on new growth. Thank you.
