Asparagus densiflorus Myersii - Fox Tail, Emerald Asparagus Fern

Foxtail fern. This lush, feathery plant is grown for its soft, needle-like foliage that forms arching tails or upright, cat-tail-shaped plumes. It works beautifully as a groundcover, in large containers, or spilling from hanging baskets, and every so often rewards you with small fragrant flowers followed by bright red berries that birds love.
Easygoing and adaptable, Fox Tail fern handles sun to partial shade, tolerates drought once established, and stays attractive year-round with minimal care. Cut back after flowering to refresh growth.
