Description

🌿 Foxtail Fern (Asparagus densiflorus ‘Meyeri’)

Foxtail Fern is an elegant, evergreen ornamental plant known for its unique, fluffy, and plume-like foliage that resembles a fox’s tail. Despite its name, it is not a true fern but belongs to the asparagus family. Its arching stems are densely covered with needle-like leaves, giving it a soft, feathery appearance.

This plant is highly versatile—perfect for containers, hanging baskets, rock gardens, and landscape borders. It thrives in both full sun and partial shade and is drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens. Small white flowers bloom in late spring or summer, followed by bright red berries that add further ornamental value.
