Dryopteris wallichiana 'Jurassic Gold' x 3 in 9cm Pots

When this fisty fern first begins its season in spring, the fronds of this unusual new variety are a glow of bronze, sunny yellow and golden orange, but as they mature their colour changes to fresh light green which is just perfect to give a burst of life to the darkest dullest part of your garden, which can often be a struggle to grow in. Not for the 'Jurassic Gold' though that thrives in damp, shady spots.

Discovered by Bob Hollister at Country Garden Plants near the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, this interesting fern will bring warmth and life to a shady border - The Dryopteris wallichiana 'Jurassic Gold' is very hardy and so easy to grow. It can also be potted for a shady part of the patio.
