Product Description

Ming Fern(Asparagus macowanii/retrofractus). Despite its name, the ming fern is a flowering plant and not a fern at all. It produces white flowers in the spring to early summer. It is in the same genus as the edible cultivated perennial vegetable, Asparagus officinalis. Ming Ferns do well in full sun as well as shaded locations. A native to arid regions of South Africa, this is a very drought tolerant plant. It can reach a height of 4-6′ when grown in the ground, but can also be grown in containers to achieve a much smaller plant. It is an excellent house plant.
  • Proper name: Asparagus macowanii/retrofractus
  • Hardy in zones 9-10, elsewhere patio or indoors
  • Grows up to 24" tall
  • Prefers full sun or light shade. Water when dry.

    I had a Chinese Ferns lost it 21 years ago, I loved that fern. I was thrilled to see that Hirt's Gardens had a starter plant. Ordered it along with another plant. It came in quickly. The packaging was great. I was so well pleased I ordered 2 other plants today. Again thank you Hirt's Gardens for offering such healthy plants.
