Fern Dryopteris (Autumn Fern)
Color Name: Brilliance
Dryopteris 'Brilliance' is a captivating fern known for its vibrant and eye-catching foliage. Its fronds unfurl in a striking coppery-red hue in the spring, gradually maturing into a glossy, deep green color throughout the summer. The contrast between its bright early growth and the rich greenery it develops makes it a standout addition to shaded garden areas or woodland landscapes. 'Brilliance' typically thrives in moist, well-draining soil and prefers partial to full shade, making it a versatile and appealing choice for adding color and texture to gardens or shaded corners.
Growing Tips: This fern thrives in neutral to acidic, loose, richly organic soil and part sun. The soil should remain moist but well-drained, though it will tolerate drier soils once it is established. Mulching plants in the winter will help to conserve moisture and keep weeds from taking hold there.
