The fern is an ancient plant whose single leaf divides as finely as lace. A symbol of the vitality that has survived hundreds of millions of years without ever flowering, it takes charge of the deep background green in a bouquet.

The story of its meaning

The fern means "Steadfast trust". Growing green in the same place, always, without a single showy bloom, it came to be read as faith that keeps its post unchanged.

Meanings by color

When to gift it

It suits the base of a bouquet for a colleague or friend you have built long trust with — and anyone who loves a natural, forest-mood arrangement.

Pairing tips

Its feathery leaves open like a fan behind rounder blooms. Meeting clear-faced flowers like Sunflowers and Gerberas, the contrast brings out the best in both.
