The Asparagus Fern is a low-maintenance hardy plant. Its delicate, fine foliage works to filter toxins from the air, making it an ideal choice for indoor décor. Its rapid growth allows it to reach up to one meter in height.
The feathery, rich green foliage provide soft texture and a light, airy appearance. An easy-to-grow plant that tolerates changes in watering frequency and is very low maintenance. Protect from harsh afternoon sun for the best appearance. Asparagus fern is a sturdy faker. It is not related to asparagus (in fact, it’s poisonous) and isn’t a fern (it spreads by seeds, not spores). Rather, it’s a quick-growing tropical perennial that’s virtually indestructible as a houseplant.
Asparagus ferns climb, trail, or sit upright, which makes them very flexible plants in a planting scheme (indoors or out). Asparagus plumosus, an aggressive climber, can be snipped for arrangements (pick mature shoots for longevity). The tentacles of foxtail fern, Asparagus densiflorus ‘Myers’, add texture and structure to a perennial bed. Beware: Several varieties are considered invasive outdoors.
