Dryopteris wallichiana 'Jurassic Gold' is a distinguished, award-winning Alpine Wood Fern known for its vibrant foliage. In spring, new fronds showcase a striking orange to coppery-gold hue, maturing to yellow-green leaves by summer. Ideal for shade gardens, woodland settings, or beneath tall specimen shrubs, this semi-evergreen fern retains its green color through milder winters. It is drought-tolerant once established but requires consistent moisture during initial planting for optimal growth.
