Autumn Fern - 3.5 inch Pots (Minimum Quantity: 25 Plants)

Dryopteris erythrosora, commonly known as Autumn Fern, is a stunning, semi-evergreen fern prized for its coppery-red new growth that gradually matures to a deep, glossy green. This hardy, adaptable fern thrives in partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or under-planting beneath trees and shrubs. Its upright, arching fronds provide year-round interest, with a continuous cycle of fresh, colorful foliage emerging throughout the growing season. Unlike some ferns that fade in the summer heat, the Autumn Fern remains lush and vibrant, offering a reliable splash of texture and color to shady landscapes.

Bring warmth and dimension to your shade garden with the autumn fern! Easy to grow and low-maintenance, it flourishes in moist, well-drained soil and is resistant to deer and pests, and is even mildly drought tolerant. Whether you’re looking to add depth to a shady border, soften a woodland path, or create a serene, naturalized setting, Autumn Fern is a perfect choice. Order it today and enjoy its ever-changing hues and graceful form for seasons to come!
