Fern With A Perm

Ferns

Sometimes, no matter how attractive your hairstyle is, and how much you like it, you just want something ...different. A new twist for added interest, a little playfulness. So, you get a perm...something a little curly, with playful twists and more bounce. And that\'s what these ferns will do for your porch or patio.

Knollwood Garden Center has grown four varieties of fern hanging baskets this year: so go a little crazy, and try something new...you\'ll be glad you did! Boston Fern The classic: long, lush green fronds sway in the breeze and look great with any decor. Roosevelt Fern The Fern With A Perm: A \"cousin\" of the Boston Fern, Roosevelt's fronds have a curly look and slightly twisty stems for a little added \"body\" and personality. Sassy Fern The Sassy Fern is another Boston relative: stylishly curly, but a little restrained. It remains compact and controlled in shape and size, making it perfect for small spaces or plant stands. It also sheds a little less! Macho Fern Aptly named, this fern has a little attitude! With the heat of summer, this one gets huge with super-size leaves and long, sturdy fronds.
