Fern Japanese Shield

The Autumn Fern with Year-Round Colour

Dryopteris erythrosora, commonly known as the Autumn Fern or Japanese Shield Fern, is a striking evergreen fern native to eastern Asia, including Japan, Korea, and China. Known for its coppery-red new fronds that mature to a deep, glossy green.

It adds a lushness and tint of colour and texture throughout the growing season. The name "erythrosora" refers to its red-toned, emerging fronds, which give it a unique autumn-like appeal even in spring.
