Foxtail Asparagus Fern – Exotic Elegance for Your Garden
About the Bloom
The Foxtail Asparagus Fern may not produce blooms, but its unique and striking appearance more than makes up for it. With vibrant, feathery foliage that resembles a fox’s tail, this fern adds a touch of exotic elegance to any landscape. Its bright green color and delicate texture create a lush, tropical feel that will elevate the beauty of your garden.
What to Know About the Plant
This evergreen fern features long, upright stems covered in soft, needle-like leaves that cascade gracefully, forming a dense, bushy mound. It is a low-maintenance plant that can grow up to 2-3 feet tall and wide, making it ideal for containers, hanging baskets, or as a ground cover. The Foxtail Asparagus Fern thrives in partial to full shade and is drought tolerant once established, making it a versatile and resilient addition to your garden.
Enhancing your Fruitscape
Pair the exotic beauty of the Foxtail Asparagus Fern with fruit trees like Citrus or Avocado for a tropical oasis in your garden. The lush foliage of the fern complements the glossy leaves of these trees, creating a harmonious blend of textures and colors. Mix in berry plants such as Blueberries or Raspberries for a pop of color and a tasty harvest. Herbs like Mint or Basil can also be planted alongside the fern to add fragrance and culinary versatility to your garden. By combining ornamental plants like the Foxtail Asparagus Fern with edibles, you can create a dynamic and visually appealing landscape that will delight both the eyes and the taste buds.
Landscaping with Ferns
Ferns are a very special plant with lots of understated beauty. These ferns can be so elegant without having to show off a colorful flower or bright fruit. Ferns just stay true to nature’s beauty by being simple and graceful. They unravel one leaf at a time to display the wonderful texture and patterns they have to offer. We love using ferns in planters to give it that contrasting texture and pattern. We also like to fill in shady garden beds with ferns to create a cool oasis.

Growing Guide
Currently, we only have growing guides for our edible plants.  We are working on them for our ornamental & landscaping plants, and will add them in the near future. Contact us if you have questions on how to plant and nurture your Ferns, and we will be glad to have one of our gardeners assist you.
Ornamental & Landscaping Plants at Just Fruits & Exotics
Although Just Fruits and Exotics has been providing ornamental and landscaping plants to customers at our nursery since we added “Exotics” to our name in the 1990’s, we never had them available to our customers online.
However, September of 2018, with the launch of our updated Just Fruits and Exotics website, we added many of our ornamental and landscaping plants to our online store for our customers nationwide.  We encourage you to “Fruitscape†your yards, mixing edibles and ornamentals to make your own edible garden.

Shipping Information
Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
