Dryopteris erythrosora Brilliance

Dryopteris erythrosora ‘Brilliance’ also known as Copper shield fern ‘Brilliance’, is a stunning fern cultivar known for its vibrant, coppery-red new fronds that unfurl in spring, gradually maturing to a glossy, dark green, with particularly bright orange-red ripe spores on the undersides of the leaves in autumn. This evergreen fern forms a tidy, vase-shaped clump, reaching a height of around 100 cm with a similar spread. The ‘Brilliance’ variety thrives in part-to-full shade, where its colourful fronds can add a striking contrast to shady garden corners or woodland settings. Its graceful, arching fronds bring an elegant texture to landscapes, making it a popular choice for adding interest to shaded borders, woodland gardens, or mixed container plantings. Easy to grow and low-maintenance, this fern is sure to brighten up any shaded garden space with its seasonal display of colour.
