Asparagus densiflorus

Asparagus Fern

Botanical name: Asparagus densiflorus
Common names: Asparagus Fern, Foxtail Fern, Sprenger’s Asparagus

Asparagus densiflorus is a lush, feathery plant known for its delicate, needle-like foliage that gives it a soft, cloud-like texture. Despite its common name, it’s not a true fern—it belongs to the asparagus family and is incredibly tough and versatile.

It thrives in a variety of conditions, making it perfect for hanging baskets, decorative pots, and even as a lush filler in mixed planters. The plant forms soft, trailing or bushy mounds that look stunning indoors or in semi-shaded outdoor spots.
