As a variety of asparagus fern, foxtail ferns germinate with relative ease, and grow quickly into beautiful lush plants that thrive indoors and outdoors. These fabulous plants are bushy and fern-like, with cylindrical spiky “fronds”. Expect them to reach a size of 24″-48″ tall, making them a stunning addition to any indoor garden.
Instructions:
Asparagus ferns are easy plants to start from seed and to keep! Sow in very moist soil, cover with a humidity dome, keep warm(ideally>70F) and out of direct sunlight.
