Japanese wood fern | Dryopteris erythrosora

    Description

    The Japanese wood fern, Dryopteris erythrosora, is a striking fern ideal for adding texture and colour to shaded borders and woodland-style gardens. This medium-growing fern produces broad, triangular fronds with glossy coppery-pink new growth that gradually matures to a rich dark green, creating a long-lasting display of changing foliage tones.

    Thriving in part to full shade, this versatile fern is perfect for brightening darker corners, underplanting shrubs, or softening the edges of paths and seating areas. With no flowers, its appeal lies entirely in its elegant, arching fronds and attractive colour contrast through the seasons.

    Japanese wood fern works well in mixed planting schemes, containers, or shaded courtyard gardens, where its refined form and varied foliage colour bring structure and year-round interest.

              Ordering, Shipping, Tracking and Returns
              Ordering & delivery


              Some products are ready for immediate dispatch, while others are sold for a later delivery period so that they can reach you in good condition and at the right point in the growing season.

              The expected delivery period for the product or variant you choose will be shown below the Add to basket button and again in the basket and checkout.

              30 litre plants and some larger items are sent by specialist pallet delivery rather than standard parcel.

              If your order contains products with different delivery timings, it may be split into more than one shipment. Plants or products that are ready for immediate dispatch will normally be sent first, while later-season plants will be sent when they are ready. This helps us send live plants at the appropriate point in the season and in suitable condition to travel.

              For full details, please see our Shipping Policy.

              Returns & problems on arrival

              Because we sell live aquatic plants and molluscs, some parts of our policy work differently from standard retail.

              Live plants and molluscs are perishable and are not suitable for routine returns once they have been prepared for dispatch.

              If there is a genuine issue on arrival, please contact us within 24 hours using the form on our Contact page, with your order number, photographs, and a short explanation.

              We will always review genuine issues carefully and fairly. Depending on the circumstances, the appropriate remedy may include a replacement, refund, or partial refund where appropriate.

              Please do not send anything back unless we have agreed this with you in writing first.

              For full details, please see our Refunds & Returns Policy.
