AUTUMN FERN Bronze Leaf Seasonal Color Live Plant Shade Garden Low Growing Ground Cover Easy to Grow Starter Size 4 Inch Pot Emerald R

Dryopteris erythrosora or Autumn Fern is an elegant low growing fern that often acts as a groundcover in heavily shaded areas. This fern's growth habit lends it to easily covering the ground with its frilly fronds that emerge auburn in color and develop to dark green over time. Autumn Fern's easy to grow nature has made it a popular choice in atriums and other indoor spaces with high humidity as it requires very little maintenance and is drought tolerant once established.

As seasons change and weather begins to cool during fall, these ferns produce new fronds that are a beautiful burnt orange tone and add an autumn feel to the landscape, hence their name. Once Autumn Fern has had a chance mature in its pot or soil if planted in the ground, it is considered a drought tolerant plant. To achieve the best year-round appearance, this plant should be grown in heavy shade with bright indirect light.
