This fluffy cutie has a secret…it’s actually part of the asparagus family! Although inedible, the Foxtail Fern is still a fun and offbeat addition to any space. Its foliage forms a bushy cone shape, reaching out like tentacles, giving an almost otherworldly look. In the fall, nestled safely in the bright green pine needle-like leaves, you may start to see the formation of sweet-smelling berries. These can be dried out and used to seed. The Foxtail Fern is drought-tolerant, temperature-tolerant, and easy to maintain, requiring only bright, indirect sunlight, and well-draining soil. Best grown in USDA zones 9-11, but will perform well as an annual or house plant in all zones.
