Asparagus Fern Hb Asparagus Densiflorus 10" Pot

Asparagus fern (Asparagus densiflorus) is a member of the Asparagaceae family. It is a popular houseplant recognizable by its bright green, feathery-textured foliage. Native to South Africa, the warm-weather perennial is closely related to the edible garden asparagus. In zones 9 to 11, these plants are hardy outdoors, growing as creeping spreading plants, but it is also common for them to be grown as indoor houseplants.

Asparagus fern is easy to grow and is normally planted in the spring in warm, humid climates. Indoors, the key to a robust asparagus fern is to keep the plant properly watered, bushy, and dense, so its lace-like foliage forms an attractive mound. It does well in both garden beds and container gardens and pots. When asparagus fern is content in its location, it can produce small flowers followed by berries that are mildly toxic to cats and dogs.12
