Autumn Fern
The Autumn Fern (Dryopteris erythrosora) is a beautiful and low-maintenance fern that is native to eastern Asia. It is known for its delicate, feathery fronds that emerge a copper-red color in the spring and mature to a bright green in the summer. In the fall, the fronds turn a brilliant yellow-orange, adding a splash of color to the autumn landscape.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
