Discovered a century ago in Boston (The name gave it away!) this graceful variation on the sword fern (N. exaltata) has become a common sight in rooms all over the world. It is one of the easiest ferns to grow inside giving a mass of soft foliage all year round in exchange for a small amount of care.
