'Autumn' Fern
'Autumn' Fern
Description
Nature’s own color show — the Autumn Fern is one of the most breathtaking seasonal performers in the plant world. When new fronds emerge in spring, they unfurl in a stunning display of reddish-copper and bronze — as vivid as autumn leaves — before maturing into a rich, deep green that lasts through the seasons. It’s like having fall foliage in your home all year long.
Native to the forests of east Asia, Dryopteris erythrosora is a semi-evergreen fern that brings bold, dramatic color to shaded spaces where most plants struggle. Whether grown indoors as a statement houseplant or outdoors as a lush ornamental perennial, the Autumn Fern delivers year-round beauty with surprisingly easy care.
