Description
Dryopteris coreanomontana is a fern native to Japan, Korea, and China. It is a deciduous and hardy species, of medium size, with triangular fronds that are slightly arched, shiny, and light in colour. They unfurl early in spring in a lovely anise green, bright in the understorey. Throughout the season, this colour darkens to a medium green. It is a vigorous and undemanding species, tolerating occasional dry soil. It is quite easy to grow in partial shade or shade, in moist and humus-rich soil. This beautiful fern adds delicate texture to the edge of a mass of foliage of different colours, planted en masse or in a pot on a shaded terrace.
Dryopteris coreanomontana is part of a large group of plants called Dryopteris ferns, all of which are deciduous or semi-evergreen terrestrial species belonging to the Dryopteridaceae family. Dryopteris coreanomontana forms a clump with a habit of about 60cm (24in) in height and 60cm (24in) in spread. Its croziers unfurl early in spring, displaying their toothed and undulate pinnae, transitioning from a vibrant anise green in spring to a medium green in summer. The upper side of the frond is slightly glossy. The fronds are deciduous, drying out in autumn, but the fern is hardy.
Among ferns from temperate regions of the world, the Dryopteris fern is certainly the most widespread and, it must be said, one of the easiest to grow. Dryopteris comes in various forms, sometimes deciduous, sometimes evergreen, but always interesting. Dryopteris coreanomontana is a plant to discover in our cool and shady gardens. It can be associated with Soleirolia, hostas, hydrangeas, and bushy fuchsias, always in dappled light, protected from direct sunlight. Its beautiful light green fronds will emerge from the shade in a slightly neglected corner of the terrace if planted in a large pot filled with fertile soil.

Planting and care
Dryopteris coreanomontana is a fern that prefers moist, humus-rich, and well-drained soil. Like many ferns, it enjoys dappled sunlight, partial shade, or even full shade. It will thrive particularly well in an east or north-facing exposure. It can also be grown in a large pot on a shaded terrace or balcony. Each spring, remove any browned or withered fronds. This species can tolerate occasional dry soil.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
