Asparagus virgatus
Asparagus virgatus is a South African broom fern that will really sweep you off your feet with its garden performance. Asparagus virgatus is a wonderful winter-hardy, airy-textured addition to both a full sun or part shade garden. The 3' tall upright spikes open into a soft, thread-like, green "broom." Each 3' wide drought-tolerant clump can be used as a fine textural contrast in the garden, for a long-lasting filler in floral arrangements, or to treat syphilis and intestinal worms. You gotta love those multi-use plants. In September the foliage of Asparagus virgatus is adorned with a multitude (catalog lingo for more than one) of small red berries. If winter temperatures stay above 12 degrees F, the foliage should remain evergreen.
