Dryopteris erythrosora BRILLIANCE Autumn fern
Zone 5 to 8, Shade
Evergreen plants reach 18 to 24 inches tall, with upright, open habit and moderate density.
Brilliance is a new and more colorful form of the ever-popular Autumn Fern, providing a display of colors for every season. The young fronds of this excellent evergreen fern are more colorful than the generic species from Asia. Young fronds are lustrous and have an orange-coppery pink color that enlivens the garden landscape. The fronds, at maturity, turn green, and retain the glossy sheen. The sori emerges bright red in fall.
One of the top ten ferns used in the garden. Autumn fern is described as a very hardy survivor and a true no-maintenance plant by the University of Florida Cooperative Extension Service.
Use in perennial beds, as groundcover for shady areas and combination planters. Use a peat-lite mix growing media for containers, and if you want to bring it indoors, place in a low light area.
Evergreen and showy in each season!
