Dryopteris erythrosora Size:17cm / 2L If humidity regularly exceeds aboutDryopteris erythrosora, the autumn fern or copper shield fern, is one of the most colourful hardy ferns you can grow, and a standout in our Hardy Exotics range. Where most ferns offer cool greens, this Japanese species opens each spring with vivid coppery pink and bronze new fronds that glow against shady planting. As the season turns they mature to a deep, glossy green, before warm coppery tints return in autumn, earning the plant its common name.
