Product Overview
Brand: Florida Foliage
Color: Green
Features:
- This unusual evergreen fern adds textural contrast to perennial beds and borders. Long, plume-like stems hold soft, needle-like leaves. Develops red berries in fall. An excellent choice for hanging baskets and containers.
- The foxtail fern is an evergreen, drought-resistant plant that needs little care and looks bright green all year long. It is also known as Asparagus meyeri or Asparagus densiflorus 'myers'.
- Use these versatile plants trailing over the edge of retaining walls or larger containers, either alone or interplanted with showy annuals for seasonal color. Take care that asparagus fern does not overwhelm associated plants in this situation. After several years, the mass of roots and woody storage organs, which can be 3 to 6 feet long and at least an inch in diameter may completely fill the container and retard drainage.
- Upright, emerald plumes make foxtail fern a gorgeous accent plant for container groupings or staging among tropicals. This beautiful fern is easy to grow and, some say, more decorative than its close relative, the asparagus fern.
- The Pony Tail Fern's stems, with their many soft, needle-like leaves, point upwards in thick, hair-like branches. Truly a unique plant to be used sparingly in a garden. Whimsical in a hanging basket or border. In a perennial border, could be planted behind flowering groundcover.
