Dryopteris wallichiana (Wallich's Wood Fern) 'Jurassic Gold'
A magnificent fern that brings prehistoric charm to shaded gardens, unfurling fronds in vibrant golden yellow that mature to lush green with contrasting black stems. The dramatic foliage forms an architectural shuttlecock shape, creating eye catching texture in woodland plantings or shaded borders. More colourful than typical wood ferns, its upright yet spreading habit makes it perfect for adding light to dark corners or planting alongside other shade lovers. Thriving in moist, well drained soil with plenty of organic matter, it prefers partial to full shade while tolerating more sun in cooler climates. With its striking foliage contrast and elegant form, this exceptional fern adds year round interest and a touch of Jurassic wonder to sheltered garden spaces.
