Dryopteris erthrosora Autumn Fern is a cold hardy fern much valued for its fresh foliage colour and for creating texture, colour and habit contrast in the garden. Its appeal lies with its glorious foliage – long, erect, triangular fronds emerge a copper/red colour, and eventually age to glossy green. This variety is one of the best species for mass planting in moist areas. Remove spent fronds to keep neat and ensure adequate water – watering the trunk slowly is always best.

Soil: A rich, reliably moist soil is preferred.
Conditions: It will withstand most locations from mostly shaded to full sun, though it prefers half and half.
Size: Height 0.6m x width 0.4m
