New fronds unfurl a glowing coppery orange, then mature to a glossy dark green, so the plant often shows both colors at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn fall, bright red spore dots form on the undersides of the fronds, and in milder areas or with some protection the foliage stays evergreen. It is deer and rabbit resistant and fits beautifully in woodland beds, Japanese-style gardens and shady containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpright, triangular fronds about 18 to 24 inches long are divided into many narrow, pointed leaflets with a glossy finish. New fronds emerge a bright coppery orange to salmon, then turn shiny dark green as they mature. In fall, rows of small red dots line the undersides of the leaflets. The plant forms an upright to gently arching clump about 24 inches tall and wide. In late spring the clump is a mix of glowing orange new growth over deep green older fronds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutumn fern needs moist shade, so place it in a shaded woodland or Japanese-style bed rather than among sun-loving lavender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in part to full shade in rich, humus-filled soil that stays evenly moist but drains well. Hardy in zones 5 to 9; in colder zones mulch in late fall. Trim off damaged fronds in early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dryopteris erythrosora\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Insignificant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coppery orange new growth maturing to glossy dark green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, arching clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 in tall × 24 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e part sun to part shade, full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 20-cell plug tray: 20 large, field-ready plugs of this variety (cells about 2¾ in. wide × 3¼ in. deep or deeper), ready to plant out or pot up.
