A LITTLE LOCAL GROWING KNOW-HOW

Help your Foxtail Fern feel at home.

Asparagus densiflorus

01 · Sun requirements

Find its light

Morning sun or bright filtered light; give relief from intense afternoon sun.

02 · Indoor / outdoor

Make room, indoors or out

Best outdoors in a landscape bed or a suitably large container; not a typical indoor houseplant.

03 · Soil & amendments

Start with good soil

Moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Blend mature compost through sandy beds and mulch lightly. In pots, use potting mix with bark or perlite for air and drainage.

04 · Water requirements

Water with care

Water the root ball thoroughly during establishment and recheck soil moisture before watering again. Once rooted, water during dry stretches as the upper soil begins to dry; reduce during cool or rainy weather.

05 · Growing habit

Give it room to grow

Dense clump of upright, arching bottlebrush fronds, roughly 2–3 ft tall and wide. Tubers gradually fill containers.

06 · Zones & cold protection

Know your growing zone

Can be grown in zones 9b–11, but frost may burn foliage or cause dieback. Shelter containers and young plants during freezing weather.

An asparagus relative rather than a true fern. Keep berries and divisions from escaping into natural areas.

Plant size, moisture needs and cold tolerance vary with cultivar, exposure and establishment. Check the root zone before watering; nursery pot size is not mature plant size.
