Botanically, Kimberly Queen is known as Nephrolepis obliterata. It comes from Australia and is known as the Australian sword fern. This has to be one of the most beautiful ferns. Its large fronds are held high and erect and keep their integrity even in wind and rain.
The Kimberly Queen tolerates more sun than does the Boston and can put on an enormous amount of growth in a year. They also tolerate indoor conditions well for those who want to overwinter them. Many gardeners don't realize that if planted in the ground, the Kimberly Queen has quite a bit of cold tolerance that allows it to return from ground level after many winters. Mulching, of course, is mandatory.
