Autumn Fern – Beauty in Every Season
About the Bloom
While the Autumn Fern does not produce blooms, its foliage steals the show with its vibrant colors and unique texture. The fronds emerge in a stunning coppery-orange hue, gradually maturing to a deep green, creating a beautiful contrast that adds interest to any garden. This evergreen fern maintains its color throughout the year, making it a standout feature in your landscape.
What to Know About the Plant
The Autumn Fern is a deciduous fern that goes dormant in the colder months before bouncing back to life in the spring. Its arching fronds can reach a height of 18-24 inches, forming a graceful mound that adds a touch of elegance to your garden. The lacy foliage of the Autumn Fern provides a delicate and airy appearance, making it a versatile plant that pairs well with a variety of other ornamental plants.
Enhancing your Fruitscape
Introduce the Autumn Fern into your fruitscape to create a lush backdrop for a variety of edible plants. Pair it with fruit trees like Cherry, Plum, or Fig to complement its foliage with seasonal fruits. Mix in berry plants such as Blackberries or Raspberries for a burst of color and texture. Tropical plants like Pineapple Guava or Passion Fruit vines add a touch of exotic flair, while herbs like Mint or Thyme bring a fragrant aroma to your garden. By combining the Autumn Fern with these edible plants, you can create a landscape that is not only visually appealing but also productive and sustainable.
At Just Fruits and Exotics, we take pride in offering plants that are shipped 100% in pot, ensuring that you receive the same quality plant as if you were buying in person. Our superior packaging and easy shipping make it convenient for you to bring the beauty of the Autumn Fern to your garden.

Landscaping with Ferns
Ferns are a very special plant with lots of understated beauty. These ferns can be so elegant without having to show off a colorful flower or bright fruit. Ferns just stay true to nature’s beauty by being simple and graceful. They unravel one leaf at a time to display the wonderful texture and patterns they have to offer. We love using ferns in planters to give it that contrasting texture and pattern. We also like to fill in shady garden beds with ferns to create a cool oasis.

Growing Guide
Currently, we only have growing guides for our edible plants.  We are working on them for our ornamental & landscaping plants, and will add them in the near future. Contact us if you have questions on how to plant and nurture your Ferns, and we will be glad to have one of our gardeners assist you.
Ornamental & Landscaping Plants at Just Fruits & Exotics
Although Just Fruits and Exotics has been providing ornamental and landscaping plants to customers at our nursery since we added “Exotics” to our name in the 1990’s, we never had them available to our customers online.
However, September of 2018, with the launch of our updated Just Fruits and Exotics website, we added many of our ornamental and landscaping plants to our online store for our customers nationwide.  We encourage you to “Fruitscape†your yards, mixing edibles and ornamentals to make your own edible garden.

Shipping Information
Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
