Asparagus Meyeri - 6" Grow bag

Asparagus Meyeri, commonly called Foxtail Fern or Meyer's Asparagus, is a cultivar of Asparagus densiflorus. Despite its name it is not a true fern but a member of the Asparagaceae family. It forms dense, upright, plume-shaped fronds densely clothed with soft, bright-green needle-like cladodes, giving each stem the look of a fluffy fox's tail.

In Indian conditions it thrives as a hardy, low-maintenance evergreen that tolerates heat and partial shade well, making it a favourite for containers, hanging arrangements, balcony gardens and shaded borders. Small white flowers may appear, followed by red berries.

It is valued for its lush texture, year-round greenery and its usefulness as cut foliage in floral arrangements.
