Brent Wilson · Gardenality Administrator · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Planting
Plant Autumn Fern in beds that provide well-drained soil and mostly shade. Morning sun is fine. Most all perennial ferns like humus-rich soil so, if your soil is poor, add some organic matter to the backfill mixture when planting.

Autumn Fern is an evergreen perennial fern that doesn't require much pruning. Maybe once a year, usually in late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges, you can clean out discolored or dead fronds. That's about it.
Brent Wilson · Gardenality Administrator · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Feeding
When planted in good, humus-rich soil that contains organic matter, Autumn Fern doesn't require much fertilizer. I usually apply a mild organic plant food in spring right after new growth begins to emerge. If the foliage turns light green, you can apply sulfur or iron to green it up.
Brent Wilson · Gardenality Administrator · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Problems
I have yet to see any serious pest or disease problems with Autumn Fern. Deer don't bother this perennial fern. Consistently wet soils can cause problems with the roots so plant in well-drained soils.
