Asparagus Fern (Asparagus Densiflorus Sprengeri) - Asparagus Sprengeri seeds are the way to start this popular foliage plant! The Asparagus Fern features trailing bright glossy foliage. When planted in containers, the unique feathery foliage makes a lovely complement to flowers. It makes an excellent house plant and works well in hanging baskets. Asparagus Fern is a slightly woody evergreen plant with upright or trailing branches. It is easily established from flower seed, and it is easy to grow and drought-tolerant. This fern-like perennial develops into a fast-growing, sprawling ground cover, or a nice-sized houseplant that requires minimal care. Grows 24 inches in height and 24 - 36 inches wide in full to part sun. Grown in some shade, the foliage will maintain a deeper green color. It likes moist but well-drained soil.
Asparagus Fern produces a flower. The flowering time lasts for roughly two weeks during the summer. Bright red berries follow the inconspicuous, fragrant white or pale pink flowers. Birds are highly attracted to the fruit and aid in the dispersal of the flower seed. Sow Asparagus Fern seeds in potting mix indoors. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost.

How To Grow
If growing as a houseplant, these seeds can be started indoors any time of the year, as long as you provide a warm area to grow. Plant in a potting mix, and keep seeds moist until germination. Sow 3-4 seeds per plant and press into soil without covering. The seeds will germinate in 21-35 days. The mature seedlings can be transplanted outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Space outdoor plants 36 inches apart to allow ground cover space, or just plant in outside pots for a contained feature.
