Japanese Shield Fern
Dryopteris erythrosora 'Compacta', also known as the Japanese Shield Fern, is a compact, eye-catching fern variety that adds a touch of vibrant color and texture to any garden or indoor plant collection.
The Japanese Shield Fern, with its scientific name Dryopteris erythrosora 'Compacta', is celebrated for its stunning, coppery-pink fronds that mature into a deep, glossy green. This variety is a smaller, more compact form of the Dryopteris erythrosora, making it a perfect addition to spaces where room is at a premium. Originating from East Asian forests, it thrives in moist, shady conditions, offering an excellent option for under-planting in wooded garden areas or for bringing a piece of the forest into your home. Its ever-changing color palette provides year-round interest, while its ease of care makes it a favorite among both novice and experienced gardeners.
