Fern, Asparagus

Asparagus densiflorus

Soft, billowy fern-like foliage (actually an asparagus relative) for bright shade and containers. Classic porch and courtyard texture plant.

Landscape use

Containers, hanging baskets, shade borders, and tropical understories.

Part shade and regular water. Dies back in freezes — often grown as a container plant or warm-season filler in Zone 8. Avoid bone-dry soil.
