Alpine Wood Fern Jurassic Gold, Wallich's Wood Fern Jurassic Gold, Dryopteris wallichiana 'Hollasic'
Noted for its excellent spring foliage color, Dryopteris wallichiana Jurassic Gold (Alpine Wood Fern) is a deciduous or semi-evergreen fern forming a compact tuft of lance-shaped fronds from an erect rhizome. Arising in shuttlecock-like clusters, the fronds are golden orange when they unfurl in spring, fading to bright golden-yellow and green as the season progresses. Adding beauty and interest to the landscape, they often persist in frost-free areas. Easy to grow, Jurassic Gold brightens up shaded places in the garden or on the terrace.
