autumn fern
Bronze woodland fern
Autumn fern is an evergreen fern native to East Asia, popular in gardens for its coppery-red new fronds that mature to deep green.
The name refers to the autumn-like colors of emerging growth, not its growing season.
It thrives in shade and moist soil: The autumn ferns along the north wall stay green all winter.
