The finely-dissected foliage emerges bright orange in the spring, before transforming into its chartreuse hues for the year, this type of Alpine Wood Fern will often have multiple hues at once with the orange center new growth, golden older leaves, and green mature leaves as they fill out the upright vase-shaped clumps. Winning Best New Plant at Horticulture Week Awards in 2019, and second place at the Farwest Trade Show in 2020, the Jurassic Gold is a colorful Fern that grows readily throughout USDA plant hardiness zones 5-9. Spreading taller than wide up to 2 feet, these perennial Ferns are gorgeous foliage plants!
This fern thrives in partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for shaded or woodland gardens. It prefers moist, well-draining soil that remains consistently damp but not waterlogged. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil moist and maintain the fern's lush appearance. Applying a layer of mulch around the base of the plant helps retain soil moisture and regulates temperature. This fern is generally low-maintenance, requiring little pruning. Removing any damaged or dead fronds helps keep the plant tidy and encourages new growth.
