asparagus fern

Lacy green climber

An asparagus fern is a decorative houseplant with feathery, needle-like foliage that resembles asparagus leaves.

Despite the name, it's not a true fern but a member of the asparagus family.

The delicate, arching stems make it popular in hanging baskets and as filler in floral arrangements: The asparagus fern cascaded over the edge of the pot.
