    Great foliage accent for shady containers, with upright "plumes" of dense but delicate asparagus like foliage. Asparagus densiflorus 'Myersii' grows to about 2' tall, with the plumes arching slightly with age. It withstands sun or shade and even dryish conditions, but appreciates regular waterings. We saw it used with succulents in CA, and thought we'd repeat that combination.

    Low growing asparagus, with needle-like leaves on pointed stems to 2' tall, creating a pointy, fluffy, fern-like mound to 2' wide. (Smaller in pots.) Few, tiny pinkish white flowers become red berries. See it and love it! Good as a houseplant or outdoors in a protected spot or patio pot plant with winter protection. In the garden, sun to light shade. Somewhat drought tolerant but best with average summer water. Evergreen into the low 20s °F, root hardy in the upper teens F, upper USDA zone 8, in a warmish spot with mulch.
