Dryopteris erythrosora, often known as the Japanese copper fern, is a perennial plant notable for several distinctive features

Shape: The leaves are finely divided and have an attractive form, growing to heights between 30 and 75 cm.

Habitat: Dryopteris erythrosora prefers partly shaded or fully shaded areas, with well-drained but moist soils.

Cold tolerance: It withstands low temperatures and can survive in USDA zones 5-9. This means the plant can tolerate temperatures down to -28.9°C, making it suitable for many regions with cold winters.

Care: It is a low-maintenance plant that does not require special care once established.

Dryopteris erythrosora is valued for the beauty of its colorful leaves and its ability to add a splash of color to shaded parts of the garden, with the added benefit of its cold hardiness.

📌 Note: The leaves of Dryopteris erythrosora may show small natural imperfections, slightly dried tips, or minor deformations caused by handling and transport. Depending on the season, the foliage may vary in color intensity, and some older leaves may yellow or partially dry out. These aspects are normal for a garden fern and do not affect the plant’s vitality, which will renew its foliage under optimal growing conditions.
