'Autumn' Fern Live Plant
Autumn Fern (Dryopteris erythrosora), also known as the Japanese Wood Fern or Copper Shield Fern, is loved for the warm copper-red tint of its young fronds, which deepen to a rich green as they mature. Native to eastern Asia, this semi-evergreen brings soft texture and seasonal color shifts to shaded spots indoors and out.
Care: partial to low light, consistently moist (never soggy) soil, and average-to-warm temperatures.
