Sprengeri Asparagus Fern (Asparagus densiflorus 'Sprengeri') Plant. Timelessly decorative variety of interior and exterior spaces. Sprengeri Asparagus Fern (Asparagus densiflorus) botanically belongs to the Asparagaceae family, and is native to the southern part of the African continent. It is a perennial, tuberous, evergreen species, of fast growth rate and arching in appearance, with a dense canopy and a size of about 1 metre. On the stems, which emerge directly from the ground, the branchlets appear, which are green and look like leaves - but they are not. The actual leaves are scale-like, small and inconspicuous. In summer, Sprengeri Asparagus Fern blooms - though rarely in cultivation - with tiny, fragrant, white or cream flowers borne on a panicle inflorescence. This is followed by red-coloured small ovoid fruits, up to 1,5 cm in size, on which several species of birds feed. Sprengeri Asparagus Fern is a relatively easy plant to grow, as it can adapt to almost any possible exposure to light, temperature fluctuations and watering frequency. It is used in various ways in gardening and landscape architecture, usually planted alone, in groups in gardens and parks, in compositions with other plants or for ground cover. It also makes a wonderful decoration for homes, offices and business premises.
