Dryopteris erythrosora 'Brilliance'
Dryopteris erythrosora 'Brilliance' is a colourful evergreen fern prized for its particularly vivid young foliage. Fresh fronds emerge copper-red in spring, soften to coppery-pink and gradually mature to glossy deep green, creating a striking contrast between new growth and established leaves.
Its finely divided, arching fronds form an attractive clump, bringing graceful texture to woodland gardens, shaded borders and containers. The foliage provides lasting structure, especially in sheltered conditions, while bright orange-red spore clusters on the undersides of mature fronds add further interest in autumn.
Hardy and low maintenance, ‘Brilliance’ thrives in partial or full shade with moist, humus-rich, well-drained soil. It tolerates dry shade once established, but benefits from regular watering during its first season and an annual mulch. Remove dead or damaged fronds to keep the plant looking tidy.
