| Botanical Name | Asparagus densiflorus 'Myersii' |
| Description | A versatile and architectural addition to Willis and Houston landscapes. Despite its name, it is actually a member of the lily family, making it far more drought-tolerant than true ferns. Its spear-like, emerald-green plumes add exceptional texture to mixed borders or containers. While it loves the Texas humidity, it is a tender perennial; in our local winters, it may need protection from hard freezes or can be moved indoors as a beautiful houseplant. |
| Exposure | Partial Shade to Filtered Sun (Protect from the harsh, direct Houston afternoon sun) |
| Height x Width | 2-3 ft. Tall x 2-3 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low to Moderate. Very drought-tolerant once established, but prefers regular watering during the heat of a Houston summer. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Root-hardy in 8b with protection) |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again in mid-summer to maintain lush green plumes. |
| Pruning | Minimal pruning is needed. Simply cut back old or yellowing stems at the base to encourage fresh, green growth. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
