Asparagus setaceus 'plumosus'

Asparagus setaceus 'Plumosus'

Asparagus setaceus 'Plumosus', commonly known as Asparagus Fern or Lace Fern, is a delicate and elegant plant despite not being a true fern. This evergreen perennial is prized for its fine, feathery foliage that creates a soft, cloud-like appearance. The plant produces slender, wiry stems adorned with tiny, needle-like leaflets that are arranged in flat, triangular sprays, giving it a lacy and intricate texture.

Growing as a climbing or trailing plant, 'Plumosus' can reach heights of 1-3 metres when supported, or cascade beautifully from hanging baskets. Its vibrant, emerald-green colour adds a refreshing touch to any setting. While inconspicuous, small white flowers may appear in summer, followed by purple berries, though the plant is grown primarily for its foliage.

Thriving in partial shade to bright, indirect light, Asparagus setaceus 'Plumosus' prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil. It's an excellent choice for indoor settings, conservatories, or as a delicate filler in floral arrangements, bringing a touch of airy elegance to any space.
