Meyer's Asparagus Ferns or Foxtail Ferns find their way into hanging baskets and mixed annual containers for the summer because of their easy-going, tolerant nature. The lush, full foliage fills any container with a solid green color.

Unique feathery, light, bright green foliage is especially attractive as an indoor houseplant.

This fern looks beautiful in hanging baskets or mixed containers because it goes well with any color of foliage or any color flower. It is a popular container plant often used for spiller.

Asparagus Fern Meyeri is happiest with bright, indirect light. Asparagus Fern Meyeri is a fluffy, full fern that keeps bright green-colored foliage. Even though the foliage is thin and needle-like, Asparagus Fern adds a very dense, arching look to planters and mixed containers. Planted solely in hanging baskets, these plants can hold their own. Indoors, these ferns prefer bright, direct light from a windowsill with consistently moist soil.

Foxtail Fern Plants are an excellent choice as a background foliage plant or as part of a centerpiece, as they don't get as large as other houseplants.
