As a variety of asparagus fern, foxtail ferns germinate with relative ease, and grow quickly into beautiful lush plants that thrive indoors and outdoors. Once grown, this fast-growing plant will delight with its unique spiky, trailing foliage.
Instructions:
Asparagus ferns are easy plants to start from seed and to keep! Sow in very moist soil, cover with a humidity dome, keep warm(ideally >70F) and out of direct sunlight. Once in their setup, leave them for ~1 month and you will see little sprouts!
Basket Asparagus looks stunning grown out of a basket(thus the name, Basket Asparagus!).

Customer Reviews
It took a while to sprout but has quickly progressed since then.
Didn't notice these sprouts at first but you can practically watch these things grow. Every time I check on them they look bigger.
