| Details |
Asparagus setaceus is a perennial in Asparagaceae, not a true fern. Its fine green sprays consist mainly of leaf-like cladodes; the true leaves are reduced to small scales.
Botanical characteristics
This structure explains the feathery appearance. Bright indirect light, humidity and drained roots suit the species better than intense direct sun or waterlogged compost.
Cladodes and the Nanus reference
Setaceus Nanus identifies the named garden seed reference within the wholesale foliage assortment.
