The Boston Fern, scientifically known as Nephrolepis exaltata, is another excellent choice for hanging baskets in courtyards. It has delicate, feathery fronds that create a lush and elegant look. Boston Ferns thrive in shady areas, making them perfect for courtyards with limited direct sunlight. They require regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist, but they are relatively low-maintenance otherwise. With their graceful foliage, Boston Ferns add a touch of natural beauty to any courtyard.
