Dryopteris erythrosora

Copper shield fern sometimes known as the Autumn fern due to the fact that in the autumn some of the fronds turn a gorgeous warm copper colour. This fern is best at home in part or full shade. It will form a compact clump of broadly ovate, bipinnatifid fronds, often coppery-pink when young. Spore-heaps also often pink on the underside of the leaf. Height 75cm so quite happy mid border. Hardy down to -10°.
