Autumn Fern

Dryopteris erythrosora

I love seeing the new foliage on this fern pop up every year. It’s in a bit of a dry spot but tolerates it pretty well. The clump hasn’t expanded very much, probably due to the drier soil.

    Beautiful foliage nearly all year. Lovely orange new foliage in spring, and virtually pest-free.

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
