Dryopteris nipponensis

Family: Dryopteridaceae, Genus: Dryopteris

Description:

Dryopteris nipponensis, a cousin of the autumn fern, is an evergreen fern that forms a 2-foot tall by 3-foot wide clump. It is known for its deer-resistant foliage, which is shorter and broader than that of Dryopteris erythrosora. In spring, new growth emerges with a red tint, adding seasonal interest to woodland gardens. This fern thrives in typical woodland conditions, making it a versatile choice for shaded garden areas.
