Description
Gardeners who plant ‘Brilliance’ Autumn Fern will find that the sturdy fronds stand up to all but the harshest ice storm, providing green when we need it most. Winner of the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award-winner, this evergreen fern unfurls bronze-colored fronds in spring and sports particularly bright orange-red ripe spores on the undersides of the leaves in autumn. In early spring, cut away the old foliage to reveal new fronds emerging in extraordinary shades of coppery pink. Though it can stand on its own with grace, it provides a fantastic backdrop to shade plants such as Variegated Solomon’s Seal and Blue Brunnera. Autumn Fern is easy to grow in rich, moist, cool soil in full shade to part shade locations. It can grow in full sun with plenty of moisture. It is tolerant of dry shade, and drought tolerant once established. It benefits from regular moisture in its first season, and from an annual dressing of compost or mulch.

Healthy plant
"Put in containers under tree. Can't plant there because of tree roots."
Nice Ferns, not native
"I bought 6 of these ferns last spring in an attempt to add more native plants to our property, in Maryland, USA. My concern is providing appropriate food and habitat for native polinators and birds. I discovered, a year later, that Autumn Brilliance ferns are native to Japan and the Phillipines! This website, with its emphasis on wildflowers and replacing lawns really led me to believe that these plants were native. All plants should be clearly marked so that consumers can make educated decisions."
Mine is doing fine in the North Half Shade zome
"I have one of these planted in my North facing front entry with pachysandra and it is doing very well. It is heavily mulched and gets dried out at times and it is still doing fine. I don't let it get soggy. i planted it just under the roof overhang and it seems to like that spot."
