Though it matures to a dark green over the summer, the autumn fern, also known as the Japanese wood fern, is aptly named for the warm copper coloring of its young fronds (leaves).
This delicate-looking, moderately sized fern (18 inches tall at most) is actually quite sturdy. It requires shade and prefers well-draining soil, but is an otherwise low-maintenance plant. it is ideal for use in gardens as ground cover. But in its native Japan and much of Southeast Asia, the hardy plant is sometimes regarded as a weed, presumably growing outside of gardens more often than in them.
Despite its reputation in its homeland, the autumn fern is still a favorite in teh Western Hemisphere, receiving the Award of Garden Merit in 1993. Each year, the British Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) recognizes a plant that performs well under UK growing conditions without the need for specialized gardening skills.
RHS recognition provides gardeners with a list of which plants grow best under certain conditions. The autumn fern, earning a hardiness rating of "H4," is the most hardy a plant can be. According to the award guidelines, it is a go-to for both the veteran and novice gardener.
