Foxtail Fern - Asparagus meyerii - 4" Pot - Live Plant

The Foxtail fern resembles a foxtail and a fern but in fact is neither. The Foxtail fern is a member of the asparagus genus, and one of the so-called asparagus ferns. The "fern", like the asparagus plant, is actually a member of the liliaceae, or lily family, and spreads by seeds and tubers rather than by spores. The Foxtail cultivar is called meyersii, and the fern sometimes goes by the names Meyers fern, or Asparagus Myersil fern. Most often however it is sod as a Foxtail fern.
