Additional Information About Autumn Fern

Autumn Fern is a moderate growing perennial plant that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 3A through 8B. It matures to an average height of 1 foot to 2 feet and an average width of 1 foot to 2 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides shade, morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun and grows best when planted in sand, loam, clay or silt soil that is well drained. The foliage is orange in color. It attracts visual attention and is resistant to deer, insects, diseases and heat.

Autumn Fern can be useful in the landscape in mass plantings, in foundation plantings, in containers or planters, as a border or edger, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, under a shade tree, in hanging baskets, in landscape beds or islands, to accentuate entryways or in small groupings and also in theme gardens, cottage gardens or shade gardens.

 


Autumn FernMore about the Autumn Fern...

The perennial and evergreen Autumn Fern is one of our favorites due to it's hardiness and it's beauty...and it's very easy to grow! The newly emerging fronds of the are beautiful shades of orange to copper, which mature to a shiny dark green that contrasts nicely with coppery tones of the new growth. 

We like using the Autumn Fern in small groupings or mass plantings in shady garden beds. It also makes an excellent container plant that is useful as a stand alone or combined with other plants in pots that will be placed under front porches, on decks or anywhere in the shady landscape. 

The Autumn Fern is exceptionally easy to grow and very low maintence. About all that ever needs done is the removal of damaged or faded fronds. Old fronds can be cut back in late winter to tidy up the plant.
