Initially upright to gently arching, the shoots of this feathery foliage house plant become pendent as they mature, so eventually form a cascading mass of green that looks wonderful tumbling over the edges of a pot or hanging basket.

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). Asparagus ferns however do make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from.


  • Home care:
    Keep the compost moist (but not waterlogged) at all times, but this can be cut back a little in winter, and place in a bright spot away from direct sunlight. These ferns love a humid atmosphere, so mist the leaves regularly with water and/or place the pot on pebbles in a tray filled with water.

    Maintain temperatures above 10°C (50°F) in winter and avoid summer temperatures above 25°C (77°F). Repot in spring when the plant becomes root-bound.
    • Humans: Skin allergen; fruits harmful if eaten
