Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This European species of Asparagus is a first-rate ornamental bringing an unbelievable lacy airy feathery diaphanous cloud of fine foliage texture to the garden. Did I mention the hazy froth of ferny foliage? All on stem to 4' which turn gold in fall with red berries. Very easy and hardy.
