LATIN NAME:Dryopteris erythrosora
Autumn Fern is a beautiful evergreen fern admired for its graceful appearance and vibrant copper-red new growth. As the foliage matures, the fronds gradually turn a rich, glossy green, creating a striking contrast that provides year-round interest in the landscape. Its soft texture and elegant form make it an excellent choice for shaded gardens, borders, woodland landscapes, containers, and walkways.
Unlike many flowering plants, Autumn Fern is prized for its unique foliage, which adds both color and texture to the landscape throughout the year.
Amount of Sunlight: Prefers partial shade to full shade.
Amount of Water: Requires regular watering and consistently moist soil.
Soil Conditions: Prefers rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter.
Cold Hardiness Zone: 5–9
Autumn Fern thrives in cool, shaded locations where its delicate foliage is protected from harsh afternoon sunlight. Applying a layer of mulch around the base of the plant helps maintain soil moisture and regulate temperature. Removing older or damaged fronds throughout the year will encourage healthy new growth and keep the plant looking its best.
