How to care for asparagus fern: our expert guide |

The feathery and attractive green foliage of the asparagus fern make it a popular indoor plant, especially for bathrooms as it enjoys humidity. Despite its finely textured leaves, it’s not actually a fern but gets the common name because of its light and wispy fronds that are just like the vegetable garden variety.

‘The asparagus fern’s common name is somewhat misleading because it’s not a fern at all,’ explains Melissa Lowrie, manager of plants and gardens for Terrain. ‘It gets grouped with true ferns, however, because its airy fronds invite similar design applications. The branches have a fine, needle-like texture and, unlike those of true ferns, grow in plateaus instead of the more typical arches, creating a dense thicket with both vertical and horizontal interest.’
