Plant Biography
The native range of Dryopteris lepidopoda extends from Taiwan to the Himalayas, where it was originally collected.
At the time it was thought to be Drypoteris wallichiana, which at first glance it resembles, until the specimens they found developed new growth and the leaves emerged with their now iconic red, orange and pink sunset hues.
