Asparagus densiflorus – Asparagus Fern
Gardeners Note: Asparagus Fern is a class A non-native invasive in frost-free areas such as Florida, the extreme Southern Gulf Coast and perhaps the West Coast. It is fine for a window box, as we used it, but it is best avoided in the landscape in these areas.

• Tender perennial, grown as a houseplant for its fine fern-like foliage and arching stems
  
• Plant in rich, moist but well-drained soil
  
• Plant in light to partial shade
  
• Height: 2-3 feet; Width: 3-4 feet
  
• Annual in zones 2-8
  
• Hardy in USDA zones 9-11:
  • Zones 2-8: Plant outside or in containers after danger of frost has passed; plant in light shade with protection from hot afternoon sun; water freely during growing season; prune when needed; fertilize monthly while outdoors; bring indoors before first frost.
    
  • Zones 9-11: Plant in spring; plant in light to partial shade with protection from hot afternoon sun; provide supplemental water during dry spells; may be invasive.
