{"product_id":"dryopteris-erythrosora-autumn-fern","title":"Dryopteris erythrosora \/ Autumn Fern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis semi-evergreen fern, known as the Autumn Fern, it gets its name from the stunning autumnal shades of the fronds, which provide colour the whole way through the growing season.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Young foliage emerges in spring with bright pink to coppery orange tones, which become more impactful as the frond unfurls. As they mature, the fronds will turn to a deep green, but as new foliage continues to emerge throughout the growing season, the contrasting colours continue for most of the summer and into autumn. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- This is one of the more drought-tolerant ferns which can take a bit of full sun too, providing it is protected from hot scorching afternoon sun and the soil does not dry out too severely. It can therefore be grown in a wide range of garden habitats, making a great contrasting addition and foliage interest in mixed perennial borders, raised beds and dappled shaded woodland areas. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- May retain some foliage in the winter months if it is kept well sheltered. However, it can often benefit from a cut back in spring, to allow for the fresh new foliage to emerge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Height and Spread approx. 60cm x 45-60cm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Supplied in a 9cm pot\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smarty Plants Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54764790284636,"sku":"A.
