Thompson and Morgan Fern Dryopteris Jurassic Gold Plant in Pot 9cm

Bring a splash of vibrant colour to your garden with Dryopteris wallichiana Jurassic Gold, an award-winning hardy fern that promises a captivating display. In spring, the new fronds emerge in a beautiful dusky bronze-pink, gradually transforming into a striking orange-tinged yellow. This colourful show is set against a backdrop of lush, mature green foliage, creating an eye-catching contrast.
This low-maintenance fern is perfect for adding interest to a dappled shade area or incorporating into a woodland-style planting scheme, providing robust and colourful ground cover. It also thrives in large patio containers, making it ideal for shaded patios, where it offers a long season of colour and remains evergreen in sheltered locations. Plant Dryopteris in a sheltered spot.
For best results, 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 planting area with well-rotted manure or garden compost before planting. Feed and water regularly until fully established, and apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost around the crown each spring.
