Autumn Brilliance Fern
Dryopteris erythrosora
Striking and colorful, Autumn Brilliance Fern is a standout deciduous fern prized for its vibrant, coppery-bronze new fronds that mature to glossy, deep green foliage. This hardy fern adds year-round texture and seasonal interest to shady gardens, woodland borders, and naturalized areas.
Emerging in spring with bright, warm-toned fronds, Dryopteris erythrosora creates a rich tapestry of color that deepens and darkens through the growing season. Its finely divided, arching fronds provide a graceful, soft texture that contrasts beautifully with bold perennials and shade-loving shrubs.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, Autumn Brilliance Fern prefers moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil in partial to full shade. It is deer-resistant and an excellent choice for adding color and form to shaded garden spots.
