As a variety of asparagus fern, foxtail ferns germinate with relative ease, and grow quickly into beautiful lush plants that thrive indoors and outdoors. These delicate fern-like plants have lush spiky leaves and grow to a height of 12" to 24".
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!
