Dryopteris koidzumiana
Koidzuma's Wood Fern is distinguished by the brilliant red new growth that changes to shades of copper and gold, before maturing to a lush green. Easy to grow, the glossy arching fronds make a wonderful addition to shady garden areas. Best colour is obtained in an acidic soil.
Plant Care
Prefers a moist soil or substrate in a shady part of the garden. Semi-evergreen. Feed in spring with a general fertiliser and trim away any old fronds as the new growth appears.
Planting Instructions

Water thoroughly, or stand pot in a container of water for half an hour before planting. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Remove the pot, place the plant in the hole so that the root ball is level with the surrounding ground and refill, firming if necessary. Keep well watered in dry weather.
