Dryopteris wallichiana

Description

Dryopteris wallichiana, commonly known as the Alpine Wood Fern, is a striking semi-evergreen fern admired for its elegant, lance-shaped fronds that emerge in a warm butter-yellow hue before maturing to a rich green. Native to regions like the Himalayas, Hawaii, and Jamaica, this fern thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers partial to full shade. Its dark brown stalks provide a beautiful contrast to the vibrant foliage, making it a popular choice for woodland gardens or shaded borders. With its robust growth and low maintenance needs, it adds a touch of natural grace to any garden setting.
