Dryopteris erythrosora, commonly known as the Autumn Fern, is a beautiful, semi-evergreen fern valued for its warm, coppery-red new growth that gradually matures to soft green. Thi s subtle colour shift brings seasonal interest and warmth to shaded areas, making it a more characterful alternative to traditional green ferns. Its gently arching fronds create a soft, natural look that works perfectly in woodland-style planting, shaded borders and containers. It’s an easy, reliable choice for adding texture and movement to darker spaces, pairing beautifully with hostas, heuchera and other shade-loving plants. Position: Partial to full shade. Avoid strong, direct afternoon sun. Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Soil: Moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Care: Low maintenance. Remove old or damaged fronds in spring to allow fresh growth to shine. Good to know: New fronds emerge in warm copper tones in spring, giving this fern its common name, Autumn Fern. A hardy perennial that provides gentle year-round interest. Plant Details: Nursery Pot Size: 15cm Show more
