Rudy’s Happy Patch Market, on the campus of Perry Wellness Center, has foxtail asparagus ferns available right now. Technically not ferns, their clumping of tiny leaves makes them strongly resemble true ferns. The plant is actually a member of the lily family. Asparagus foxtail ferns feature a bright, asparagus green color, red berries, and white blossoms. These unusual plants are frequently used for landscaping, as well as stand-alone potted plants or hanging baskets. 

Asparagus foxtail ferns are considered hearty and drought-resistant, so they are not a challenge for even a beginning gardener. To find out more about caring for this plant, we recommend the Gardening Know-How website.

Perry Wellness Center founder and CEO Stuart Perry says, “I hope people will stop by Happy Patch and enjoy checking out our fall inventory.”  Asparagus foxtail ferns are available in several sizes, with a three-gallon plant priced at $12.
