Foxtail ferns (Asparagus densiflorus), also known as asparagus ferns, are evergreen perennials that feature vertical plumes and weeping foliage. They have a clumping habit that reaches 2-3 feet high by 3 feet wide. With its unique appearance and ability to be planted indoors and outdoors, this plant has become a favorite in the gardening community.

Although this plant often has "fern" in its name, you will be surprised to learn that it is not a fern. Asparagus Fern will propagate from seeds and does not produce spores like typical ferns. However, gardeners commonly associate it with ferns because of its clumping habit and soft, green foliage. The asparagus fern is a member of the lily family and is related to the asparagus vegetable. This plant is not edible asparagus and should not be consumed by humans or pets.

This plant is adorned with tiny white flowers in the spring, and soon after, red berries follow behind them. Of course, there is no guarantee that the flowers or red berries will appear yearly. Be careful, the red berries are toxic to humans if consumed, but birds are attracted to them and will eat them, bringing life and movement into your garden for years to come.

Asparagus Fern is a shade lover thriving in dappled sunlight, full shade, but never full sunlight during the hottest parts of the day. Overexposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight will lead to yellowed foliage and potentially the death of the plant. This Fern grows best in part shade, allowing the perennial plants to grow lush habits and emerald green foliage. However, they can also be grown in part sun, resulting in the growth of lighter green but healthy foliage. A fully mature plant averages 2-3 feet in height and 3 feet in width.

Foxtail Fern Care

Do foxtail ferns like sun or shade?

Despite looking like a tropical plant and having hardiness zones in subtropical regions, these ferns is more of a shade lover. Plant your new fern in locations that receive filtered, partial shade in east-facing gardens or windows. Morning sun is no problem, but avoid bright, hot afternoon sun, which will damage the plant. These ferns can also tolerate full shade, but it may cause the leaves to emerge in lighter shades of green.

Are Foxtail Ferns Cold Hardy?

Foxtail Fern is tolerant to temperatures as low as 15°C and thrives in USDA Zones 9-11. If you live outside USDA Zone 9, you can use them indoors as a houseplant or plant it outdoors in a container that can be brought indoors and overwintered.

Place your potted plants indoors in a container or hanging baskets near a bright sunny windowsill. Keep your soil moderately moist to prevent your foxtail fern turning yellow, but don't drench your plant, or you'll get root rot.

Watering Ferns

The Foxtail plant enjoys moist, well-draining potting soil that is rich in nutrients. Water weekly during the spring and summer and allow the top layer of soil to dry out between watering to prevent root rot. Foxtail Ferns' tuberous roots store water, and too much water may not be absorbed quickly by the ornamental plant. In the winter, reduce watering to once every two weeks.

When to Prune Foxtail Ferns

Whether used as an indoor plant, in hanging baskets, or in the garden, the foxtail fern's weeping habit requires only maintenance pruning. However, mature plants can become thin and leave behind bare stems. You can remove these bare stems by snipping them where the foliage stops on the plume.

These ferns can be divided each year and repotted in the spring. Start by removing the plant from its pot. Cut from the top of the rootball through the thick roots to the base of the rootball. Use a sharp knife to avoid tearing the roots. Repot the plants and water them as necessary.

Fertilizing Ferns

Throughout the growing season, spring to fall, you can fertilize this ornamental plant if you find that it needs it. Add houseplant or tropical plant food to wet soil once a month. Avoid adding plant food to dry soil, which may lead to root damage. Organic compost is another excellent way to boost your fern.

Where to Use Foxtail Ferns

Your USDA Zone will dictate whether or not to plant indoors or to find a permanent spot for it in your landscape. Since Foxtail Fern thrives in USDA Zones 9-11, gardeners in this area can plant it in shade gardens, and use it on the patio, or as an indoor plant.

For those in USDA Zones 8 or lower, we recommend planting in hanging baskets or containers that can be moved inside your home easily. The fragrant tiny white flowers and dense foliage plumes will provide visual interest for any setting. Be sure to place them by a bright window that will allow the indoor plant to thrive.

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Fantastic writing and non-stop action
Format: Kindle
This is a promising, fantastic beginning to what will be a 4-book series. Some readers may be content to read only the first 2 books, but I think you'll find that the story is so good that you'll want to keep reading books 3 and 4. Book 1 is about omega Elvana's introduction to the "Starling" brothers and their search for another missing person, Kelly. It's a bit of a rocky start, with deception and betrayal a key element. Hardly an auspicious beginning. Each member has their own path and purpose in the pack. Their interactions and the resulting narrative are so well-written that I found it difficult to put down. There is a cliffhanger that will have you reaching for book 2 as you finish, so make sure you have it on hand.

Fun read
Format: Kindle
I'm not really into mafia books but I love Roxy Collin's other series so I decided to give it a try. It had the same great romance, spice, swoon-worthy characters and exciting plot that are her signature. Arben was my favorite, although it was a bit sudden how quickly he changed from ignoring her to wanting to be pack. There were almost too many twists/layers of lies to keep track of but I'm looking forward to reading the other books. The only thing that detracted from the story for me was the need for a bit more proofreading. It was mentioned that Kelly is a female and male at different points, leading me to think she changed her mind at some point about the character's gender but didn't go back and edit it to align in all places. Like another reviewer pointed out, step siblings are different than half siblings. They are incorrectly referred to as step siblings because they (allegedly) share the same biological dad. There are a few other typos as well but those aren't a big deal.

Stepbrothers, Secrets, and Sizzling Heat
Format: Kindle
Twisted Lies by Roxy Collins is a wild ride through family secrets, amnesia, and a steamy stepbrother romance. When Kelly discovers her life is built on lies, she ends up tangled with three alpha stepbrothers and an assassin who once helped her through a heat. The tension? Off the charts! The heat is real, and the complications are messy in the best way. Full of twists, secrets, and fated mates? You'll be hooked from page one! Love omegaverse drama with a dash of taboo? This one's for you!

Good read
Format: Kindle
The book has some good twists and turns, but truthfully I was so confused on some things. It didn't have a good flow for me personally. Not sure if it's due to typos or using him/her wrongly, but I thought Kelly was both a guy and a girl. Actually I still don't know, and it made me incredibly frustrated. It would refer to Kelley as him or he, and then again in another part of the story as her she and sister. On to the next book, I hope there is some clarity and a smoother flow. This is a slow burn, and I just don't know how much I care for the Alphas yet. Idk if I recommend.
