Asparagus Fern

$12.50

These plants can be grown outdoors year round. Plants perform best in organically rich, consistently moist, but well drained soils. Avoid direct sun which may cause the leaves to yellow. In full shade the foliage may turn a lighter green. Plants may die to the ground in light freezes, but roots remain hardy to about 20-25 degrees. The asparagus fern is easily grown as a houseplant or placed in containers.
