Garden fern - Dryopteris wallichiana 'Jurassic Gold'

Dryopteris wallichiana 'Jurassic Gold' is a spectacular cultivar with golden leaves. It is part of the Dryopteridaceae family and is native to Asia.

The leaves of the 'Jurassic Gold' fern are arched and have a fine texture, having a length of 60-90 cm and a width of 30-45 cm. Their color is the main element that differentiates this cultivar from the base species. The new leaves appear in an intensely golden hue, which gradually fades to a darker pale green.

The care of Dryopteris wallichiana 'Jurassic Gold' is similar to that of the base species. It prefers shaded or semi-shaded areas and a well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. The fern prefers a moist and cool environment, so it is important to water the plants regularly, especially during the summer or in environments with high temperatures. During the period of active growth, slow-release fertilizers or liquid fertilizers diluted in water can be added once a month.

Dryopteris wallichiana 'Jurassic Gold' is a cold-resistant fern, tolerating low temperatures of up to -20 degrees Celsius. Planting in areas protected from strong wind/blizzard is recommended.
