Notes
'Sprengeri' sprenger's asparagus fern (Asparagus densiflorus 'Sprengeri') is a perennial for shade gardens, ground cover, and annual beds. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade, average moisture, and loamy soil. Its arching, evergreen stems bear fragrant white flowers in spring and summer, and birds visit it. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Begonia, Angel wings, Blue star fern, and Staghorn fern.
