Feriga de gradina - Dryopteris wallichiana 'Jurassic Gold'

Dryopteris wallichiana "Jurassic Gold" is a spectacular cultivar featuring golden-colored leaves. It belongs to the Dryopteridaceae family and is native to Asia.

The leaves of the "Jurassic Gold" fern are arched and have a fine texture, measuring 60-90 cm in length and 30-45 cm in width. Their color is the main element that differentiates this cultivar from the base species. New leaves appear in an intense golden shade, 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 well-drained soil rich in organic matter. The fern prefers a humid and cool environment, so it is important to water the plants regularly, especially during summer or in environments with high temperatures. During the active growth period, slow-release fertilizers or liquid fertilizers diluted in water can be added once a month.

Dryopteris wallichiana "Jurassic Gold" is a frost-resistant fern, tolerating low temperatures down to -20 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to plant it in areas sheltered from strong wind/blizzards.
