Asparagus setaceus seed Bonsai plumosus Fern
LATIN NAME: ASPARAGUS SETACEUS
COMMON NAME: Common Asparagus Fern, Lace Fern, Ferny Asparagus
The asparagus fern is a graceful and generous plant of the warm rooms and the shade gardens, and its soft, feathery, lace-like sprays of fine, needle-like foliage have made it one of the most beloved of the foliage plants of the world. It grows as a climbing or scrambling plant of the asparagus family, reaching up to three metres, with wiry, branching stems bearing fine, feathery, lace-like sprays of many small, needle-like, bright-green leaf-like stems, which give it the airy, fern-like look, and, in the warm season, small, inconspicuous, greenish-white flowers, followed by small, round, black or green berries. It is a plant in the asparagus family, native to southern Africa, and it is known as the common asparagus fern, the lace fern or the ferny asparagus, while, despite its common name, it is not a true fern.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The asparagus fern has a genuine and growing place in both horticultural and botanical research. It has been studied in horticulture, since it is one of the most beloved of the foliage plants of the world, prized for its soft, feathery, lace-like sprays, and researchers have examined its cultivation, its growth and its value in the pot, the hanging basket and the shade garden, while its graceful, airy foliage has drawn attention in the international gardening and interiorscaping press. The plant has also been studied in botany, since, despite its common name, it is not a true fern, and researchers have examined its classification and its relationships, while the study of the asparagus family and its many members has been of continuing interest, and the fine, needle-like leaf-like stems of the plant have been examined. The species has also been studied in ecology, since it is a native of southern Africa and has been introduced widely, and its growth, its role in the warm landscape and its spread in the warmer regions have been examined. For a plant of such grace, the asparagus fern has a rich and growing record of research.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
To grow the Asparagus Fern from seed, ecologically, the asparagus fern is a graceful plant of the warm shade. Its small, greenish-white flowers feed the bees and the insects, and its soft, feathery sprays give cover, while its small, round berries feed the birds, and it is a beloved presence in the warm rooms and the shade gardens of the world. Its economic value is real: the asparagus fern is one of the most beloved of the foliage plants of the world, prized for its soft, feathery, lace-like sprays, and its grace has drawn attention in the international gardening and interiorscaping press, while it is also valued in the cut foliage and the floral arrangements. To start the asparagus fern along, give the hard seeds a long soak in warm water, then sow them in moist, free-draining compost in a warm, shaded spot and keep them gently watered.
