- Bronze-pink fronds in spring
- Hardy fern for shady spots
- Evergreen ground cover plant
Behold the award-winning Dryopteris wallichiana Jurassic Gold, a hardy fern that puts on a captivating colour display. In spring, the new fronds unfurl in a mesmerising dusky bronze-pink, evolving into a striking orange-tinged yellow. This vibrant display is beautifully set against a backdrop of lush, mature green foliage, creating an eye-catching contrast.
This low-maintenance fern is a robust and colourful choice for ground cover, thriving in dappled shade or as part of a woodland-style planting scheme. Even on shaded patios, it will flourish in a large container, providing a long season of colour and remaining evergreen in sheltered locations. Plant Dryopteris in a sheltered spot.
For optimal growth, choose a position in dappled shade on fertile, moist, acid or neutral soil. These ferns thrive in soil rich in organic matter, so enrich the soil with well-rotted manure or garden compost before planting. Feed and water regularly until fully established. Each spring, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost around the crown of the plant.
Position: Full Sun. Height: Reaching up to 60cm when fully grown. Spread: Spreading up to 45cm when fully grown.
