Radiance Autumn Fern

Radiance Autumn Fern is derived from an evergreen fern native to the woods and forests of Eastern Asia. Its name refers to the radiant new growth which is a mix of pinks, oranges and reds in color, maturing to shiny, bright green in mid-summer. In fall the fronds turn coppery providing interest for at least three seasons and in frost-free areas the fern is evergreen.

It reaches about two to three feet in height and width and is suitable for massed planting in shady areas, as an understory or as a potted specimen plant. It thrives in partial shade, humus-rich soils, and consistent soil moisture.
