The feathery, fluffy fronds of the Asparagus Fern or Asparagus densiflorus 'sprengeri' add texture and greenery to a space. Small white flowers bloom during the summer, but this plant is grown for the frilly foliage, and the blooms are rather insignificant. This plant is a vigorous grower that quickly spreads and reaches.
This plant makes an impressive planting on its own and can be featured in a landscape. Combine the dense foliage with other plants to create a striking combination planting. The delicate, needle-like foliage spreads when grown in the ground and serves as a ground cover. Place this mounded spiller in a container or hanging basket, and the lace-like fronds will gently cascade over the edge and hang down.
Proven Accents® Asparagus Fern Care
Plant Asparagus Fern in partial, dabbled light. Intense, direct sunlight can burn the delicate foliage when grown outdoors. This plant can live in low-quality soil but use a well-draining, rich, slightly acidic soil mix for best results. As a fern, this plant thrives with increased humidity and will need water when the top layer of the soil dries out.
Asparagus Fern is a fast grower, especially when grown outdoors in warm, humid climates. Prune the plant to keep the fern bushy and compact or let the long stems grow and extend. This fern is grown as an annual in most areas. Bring this green beauty inside for the winter because it can easily live as a houseplant. Place in bright indirect light while inside, mist the leaves daily, and the soil should be consistently damp.
Proven Accents® Asparagus Fern Spacing
Asparagus Fern will grow 12 to 24 inches tall and 10 to 14 inches across. Space ferns 10 to 14 inches apart when used in a landscape or grow one plant in a large container.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
