Dryopteris erythrosora

Family: Dryopteridaceae, Genus: Dryopteris

Description:

Dryopteris erythrosora, commonly known as the autumn fern, is a perennial fern native to East Asia. It features fronds that emerge copper-red and mature to a deep green, creating a striking visual contrast. This fern grows up to 2 feet tall and wide, thriving in part to full shade with moist, rich, well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and resistant to pests and diseases, making it a low-maintenance choice for garden borders and ground cover. Its feathery, arching fronds add texture and interest to shaded garden areas.
