Neprholepis exaltata, Boston Fern
This fern makes a dense groundcover in partially sunny sites or shade. In this picture it is shown in full sun in Sarasota by city hall.
It is distinguishable from the invasive Nephrolepis cordifolia because exaltata doesn't have the translucent tubers in its roots.
Once established its water needs are not excessive. It can survive long periods drought with little problem. Hardy at zone 9 and lower.
Propagate from dividing a friend's plant.
