Dryopteris wallichiana
Alpine wood fern
Description
Dryopteris wallichiana, the Wallich's Wood Fern, is a deciduous fern recognized for its striking appearance and is native to the Himalayas. It's known for its large, arching fronds that emerge with a bronze or reddish hue before maturing to a rich green. This fern adds a touch of visual interest to any garden, creating a striking contrast. Dryopteris wallichiana thrives in moist, well-draining soil and prefers partial to full shade, replicating its natural habitat. It is relatively easy to care for and can be propagated through spores or division. Ensure consistent moisture, particularly during dry periods. The fronds can add a touch of texture. Its beautiful foliage makes it a popular choice for shaded gardens.
