Dryopteris erythrosora is a striking semi-evergreen fern. Its triangular-shaped fronds have a copper tint when young and slowly mature to dark green.
For best results grow Dryopteris erythrosora in moist soil in partial shade. It works well alongside other evergreen ferns and woodland plants. Mulch annually with well-rotted leaf mould, composted pine needles or garden compost to mimic the woodland conditions it's used to. Cut back old fronds in winter to make way for new growth. Learn more in our ferns grow guide. Dryopteris erythrosora has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
