Fern-D. Brilliance Autumn

Fern-D. Brilliance Autumn (Dryopteris erythrosora) is a vase-shaped evergreen fern with arching, tri-pinnate fronds that add year-round texture and structure to the garden. Dryopteris erythrosora is known for its stunning seasonal color—new fronds emerge bright copper-orange and mature to deep green, creating a beautiful contrast throughout the growing season.

In fall, Fern-D. Brilliance Autumn develops brilliant red spores on the leaves, adding extra seasonal interest. This fern thrives in rich, moist, acidic soil with some shade and becomes drought tolerant once established. Fern-D. Brilliance Autumn (Dryopteris erythrosora) is a standout choice for shade gardens, woodland borders, and mixed perennial beds.
