Foxtail Fern
(Asparagus densiflorus ‘Myers’)
The Foxtail Fern, despite its name, is not a true fern but a member of the asparagus family. It is appreciated for its soft, upright, plume-like fronds that resemble the bushy tail of a fox. This plant is a superb choice for adding a unique texture to Florida landscapes and can be grown in containers, as a border plant, or mass planted for a low-maintenance groundcover.
