In the autumn, these ferns discolored from green to yellow and orange. Most ferns are forest plants, they are strong and hardly suffer from diseases. The fern is a perennial plant, disappearing in the winter to resurface in the spring, but there are also evergreen ferns, that keep their leaves all year round and are resistant to the cold. Some species only keep their leaves in mild winters, such as the woodfern (Dryopteris).
