Description
Asparagus fern, despite its name, is not a true fern but a delicate-looking house plant with soft, feathery foliage. It's a popular indoor plant in the UK thanks to its airy texture, making it perfect for hanging baskets or adding softness to shelves and corners.
Not pet-safe—can cause irritation if ingested.
