Asparagus meyerii - Foxtail fern

Asparagus meyerii - Foxtail fern
Latin name:
Asparagus meyerii
Common name:
foxtail fern
Keywords:
foxtail fern

A chequered path over the last few years but is now a legitimate plant not on the MAF banned list and accepted fern for sale!!!

As the name suggests the fronds have appearance like a foxes tail - narrow then bushy then narrowing at the tip. Lovely lime green and very hardy.

Can grow indoor or outdoor - great cut foliage as is quite long lasting and adds pizzaz to the flower mix.
