Product Description:
A graceful evergreen perennial with lush, upright plumes of needle-like green foliage resembling a fox’s tail, Asparagus densiflorus ‘Meyeri’ is an attractive ornamental plant suitable for garden borders, mixed landscapes, pots, patios, and indoor-outdoor spaces. Its texture adds movement and visual softness to plant combinations while remaining low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. The plant produces tiny, white summer flowers followed by small berries that attract birds.

Size When Fully Grown:

• Height: Typically 30–60 cm, with potential to reach up to ~90 cm in optimal conditions.
• Spread: Approximately 60–90 cm across at maturity.
• This compact, clumping habit makes it excellent for containers, borders or accent planting.

Best Growing Conditions:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light or partial shade; can tolerate some sun but avoid intense midday heat to prevent foliage burn.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil; avoid waterlogged conditions which can cause root rot.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy; allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Temperature: Performs best in warm climates (roughly 15–24 °C) and is frost tender; protect from cold and frost.
• Humidity: Tolerates typical humidity levels; moderate humidity supports vibrant growth.
• Feeding: Balanced fertiliser during active growth supports fuller foliage.

• Handling caution: Some people may experience skin irritation from sap or contact with stems; wearing gloves during handling or pruning is advised.

Planting & Seasonality:

• Best Time to Plant: Spring to early summer is ideal for establishing new plants outdoors, allowing warm temperatures and active root growth.
• Growing Season: Active growth occurs throughout spring and summer; foliage remains evergreen in suitable climates.
• In cooler regions, plants can be grown as containers or indoor specimens and moved indoors or to sheltered positions during the colder months.
