CloseWhen you have a slow-growing, petite-sized evergreen fern with an interesting form and texture, you have a perfect candidate for container planters, hanging baskets, and those nooks and crannies along walkways and borders that need "something." This is precisely the description for 'Dragon's Tail Fern' with narrow green fronds that seem to grow in a low, swirling (dragon-tail lashing?) mound. Its small stature and slow growth also makes it a great option for indoor terrariums, delaying the need to transplant it into a larger container. Outside, Dragon's Tail Fern will grow in full shade to dappled or afternoon shade. Inside, consider placing it in a well-lit room with no direct sun. It should be happy in either environment with a year-round presence.
