Foxtail Fern
Foxtail Asparagus Fern
Is an evergreen arching perennial that has feathery, needle-like, stems.
Foxtail Fern is often thought of as a fern but really it is not a true fern, i.e. it produces seeds rather than spores. This is however related to the vegetable Asparagus which also has fern-like foliage.
Foxtail Fern is very similar to Asparagus Fern only its growth habit is very dense and it produces tail-like fronds for a fluffy Foxtail look.
In the summer the plant has small white flowers that are followed by bright red berries.
The plant can grow 2 feet in height and to a width of 3 to 4 feet.
Unique growth habit makes it an outstanding accent plant in any garden also makes a great hanging basket.
