Description How to Grow More Info Delivery Reviews

An acclaimed new variety, introduced from British breeding in 2018. This hardy, semi-evergreen fern produces bronze-pink new growth in spring, which colours to vibrant golden-green throughout the summer. The architectural fronds arch gently as they grow, creating superb ground cover for woodland areas and shaded borders. Perfect for adding colour and texture to a dark corner of the garden, Dryopteris wallichiana 'Jurassic Gold' also makes a fine container plant, creating an attractive, colourful focal point. Height: 60cm (24"). Spread: 45cm (18").

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
