Asparagus Fern Care
plant care INSPIRATION REPOTTING & DIVIDING While Asparagus Ferns do not mind being pot- bound, likely, there will come a point where they need to be repotted or divided. Dividing, with a INFORMATION Asparagus Fern little patience is relatively easy. Once removed from the pot, using a clean, sharp knife, groups of ‘bulblets’ can be separated, with the attached foliage intact. Divided plants should be potted using a good quality potting mix (such as Sunshine LC1) in containers which allow for plenty of root growth. The crown of the plant should be at soil level. Water thoroughly. VARIETIES Sprengeri (Asparagus densiorus ‘Sprengeri’) Perhaps the most common of this group, it has long been favored as a foliage compliment in outdoor containers. As the hardiest of the Asparagus Ferns, it can survive temperatures well below freezing, & can last well into the winter oustide, sometimes adorning itself with Not actually a fern at all, Asparagus Ferns are directly related to the common vegetable, hence showy, bright red (but poisonous) berries. Developing a graceful, the name. They are also more distantly related to onions, garlic, and lilies, all within the family cascading habit, it is suitable for pots or baskets, indoors or out. Liliaceae. Despite their relationships, all parts of the ornamental Asparagus Ferns are poisonous. Adaptable, and extremely easy to grow, these plants are long lived, and can thrive with little Foxtail Fern (Asparagus densiorus ‘Meyersii’) care. Beware their soft appearance; stems of all varieties are lined with small but sharp thorns. This dramatic form produces spire-like fronds which radiate reliably from a central core.

Asparagus Densiflorus 'Sprengeri'
FPS051 Asparagus densiflorus ‘Sprengeri’ Sprengeri Asparagus Fern1 Edward F. Gilman, Ryan W. Klein, and Gail Hansen2 Introduction ‘Sprengeri’ Asparagus Fern is a rounded herbaceous perennial that is used in the landscape for its attractive, fine-textured foliage. This 1 to 4 foot-tall plant has true leaves that are scale-like and inconspicuous. The structures that most refer to as leaves are actually leaf-like branchlets called cladophylls. These tiny cladophylls are linear, flat- tened structures that are bright green in color. They occur singly or in groups of 3 or more at a node. The stems of this plant emerge directly from the ground and become woody and spiny, so be careful when handling this species. The thorns cause significant irritation to many people Figure 1.

The Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Asparagus (Asparagus Officinalis L.) and Its Phy- Logenetic Positon Within Asparagales

The entire chloroplast (cp) genome of asparagus was sequenced with Hiseq4000 platform. The complete cp genome maps a circular molecule of 156,699bp built with a quadripartite organization: two inverted repeats (IRs) of 26,531bp, separated by a large single copy (LSC) sequence of 84,999bp and a small single copy (SSC) sequence of 18,638bp. A total of 112 genes comprising of 78 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNAs and 4 rRNAs were successfully annotated, 17 of which included introns. The identity, number and GC content of asparagus cp genes were similar to those of other asparagus species genomes. Analysis revealed 81 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci, most composed of A or T, contributing to a bias in base composition. A maximum likelihood phylogenomic evolution analysis showed that asparagus was closely related to Polygonatum cyrtonema that belonged to the genus Asparagales.

Mini Data Sheet on Asparagus Asparagoides (Asparagaceae)
EPPO, 2013 Mini data sheet on Asparagus asparagoides (Asparagaceae) Added in 2012 – Deleted in 2013 Reasons for deletion: Asparagus asparagoides was added to the EPPO Alert List in 2012 but as no immediate risk was perceived, it was transferred to the Observation List in 2013. Why Asparagus asparagoides (Asparagaceae) is a rhizomatous perennial climbing vine originating from South Africa. One of its English common names is “bridal creeper”. This species is invasive in Australia. It is used as an ornamental plant in the EPPO region, and is listed as an invasive alien plant in Spain, but is also present in other EPPO member countries. Considering the invasive behavior of this species elsewhere in the world as well as in EPPO countries, it is considered that Mediterranean and Macaronesian countries may be at risk, and that the species should usefully be monitored. Geographical distribution EPPO region: France (including Corse), Italy (Sicilia), Malta, Morocco, Portugal (Azores, Madeira), Spain (including Islas Canarias), Tunisia. Note: The species had erroneously been indicated as present in Slovenia (from an incorrect interpretation of Jogan, 2005). Africa (native): Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Morocco, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Zimbabwe. North America: Mexico, USA (California, Hawaii (East Maui)). South and Central America: Argentina, Guatemala, Uruguay. Oceania (invasive): Australia (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia), New Zealand. Morphology A. asparagoides is a geophyte with a perennial cylindrical, slender (about 5 mm wide), branching rhizome, growing parallel to the soil surface, bearing fleshy tubers (25–42 mm long and 8–20 mm wide). It produces thin shoots, slightly woody at the base and up to 6 m long when support is available.

Weeds Fact Sheet
HUNTER & CENTRAL COAST REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGY WEEDS FACT SHEET Managing Ground Asparagus Fern (Asparagus aethiopicus) in the Great Lakes district Ground Asparagus Fern (Asparagus aethiopicus) Recently listed as a Weed of National Significance (WONS) What does it look like? Asparagus Fern is a sprawling ground perennial with spikey leaves which look more like stems arranged singularly or in clusters. The small white to pink bell-shaped flowers can give off a pungent smell. Green berries begin to form in autumn turning bright red in late winter. The widespread and thick root system is made up of small white water tubers forming a thick mat preventing anything else from growing. Why is it a problem? Asparagus Fern is easily spread by birds dropping seeds in native bushland throughout Foster and the surrounding area. Once established it is capable of taking over native vegetation, reducing biodiversity values and destroying important fauna habitat. Because it is listed as a WONS, landowners have a legal responsibility to control and reduce its spread.
