Delicate needlelike foliage drapes from this subtropical relative of asparagus, which is not a true fern. Stems of asparagus fern (Asparagus densiflorus) shoot upward and outward, making it a good hanging basket plant. Small white flowers hidden among needles turn into bright red berries. Keep the poisonous berries away from children and pets.
Size: To 18 - 36 inches high and 12 - 36 inches wide.
Growing conditions: Medium to bright light; 60 - 75°F; evenly moist soil
