Fern Asparagus densiflorus 'Myers' is not a true fern, but a member of the lily family. Feathery and soft, this variety of asparagus native to South Africa creates great visual interest when massed; flowers are short lived and are hidden behind foliage therefore not very noticeable. It can produce berries which are toxic to pets so keep me away from pets and kids! My berries can be germinated to produce additional plants.
