Foxtail Fern

With dense, upright fronds that arch gracefully like a fox’s tail, the Foxtail Fern brings a bold, sculptural look to any landscape. Typically reaching 2 feet in height and spreading 3 to 4 feet wide, it thrives in both flower beds and decorative pots.

• Bright green, plume-like foliage
• Upright, arching growth with soft texture
• Grows up to 24 inches tall and spreads 36-48 inches
• Performs well in full sun to partial shade
• Ideal for containers, borders, and accent planting

Foxtail Fern grows best in well-drained, moist soil. It handles both sun and shade, though partial shade helps prevent leaf scorch in warmer climates. This unique fern isn’t a true fern, but its tropical look makes it a favorite in mixed plantings, indoor pots, and outdoor landscapes alike. This fern variety grows successfully in all USDA cold hardiness zones, making it great for Northern Texas as well.
