Foxtail ferns (Asparagus densiflorus), also known as asparagus ferns, are evergreen perennials that feature vertical plumes and weeping foliage. They have a clumping habit that reaches 2-3 feet high by 3 feet wide. With its unique appearance and ability to be planted indoors and outdoors, this plant has become a favorite in the gardening community.

Although this plant often has "fern" in its name, you will be surprised to learn that it is not a fern. Asparagus Fern will propagate from seeds and does not produce spores like typical ferns. However, gardeners commonly associate it with ferns because of its clumping habit and soft, green foliage. The asparagus fern is a member of the lily family and is related to the asparagus vegetable. This plant is not edible asparagus and should not be consumed by humans or pets.

This plant is adorned with tiny white flowers in the spring, and soon after, red berries follow behind them. Of course, there is no guarantee that the flowers or red berries will appear yearly. Be careful, the red berries are toxic to humans if consumed, but birds are attracted to them and will eat them, bringing life and movement into your garden for years to come.

Asparagus Fern is a shade lover thriving in dappled sunlight, full shade, but never full sunlight during the hottest parts of the day. Overexposure to high temperatures and direct sunlight will lead to yellowed foliage and potentially the death of the plant. This Fern grows best in part shade, allowing the perennial plants to grow lush habits and emerald green foliage. However, they can also be grown in part sun, resulting in the growth of lighter green but healthy foliage. A fully mature plant averages 2-3 feet in height and 3 feet in width.

Foxtail Fern Care

Do foxtail ferns like sun or shade?

Despite looking like a tropical plant and having hardiness zones in subtropical regions, these ferns is more of a shade lover. Plant your new fern in locations that receive filtered, partial shade in east-facing gardens or windows. Morning sun is no problem, but avoid bright, hot afternoon sun, which will damage the plant. These ferns can also tolerate full shade, but it may cause the leaves to emerge in lighter shades of green.

Are Foxtail Ferns Cold Hardy?

Foxtail Fern is tolerant to temperatures as low as 15°C and thrives in USDA Zones 9-11. If you live outside USDA Zone 9, you can use them indoors as a houseplant or plant it outdoors in a container that can be brought indoors and overwintered.

Place your potted plants indoors in a container or hanging baskets near a bright sunny windowsill. Keep your soil moderately moist to prevent your foxtail fern turning yellow, but don't drench your plant, or you'll get root rot.

Watering Ferns

The Foxtail plant enjoys moist, well-draining potting soil that is rich in nutrients. Water weekly during the spring and summer and allow the top layer of soil to dry out between watering to prevent root rot. Foxtail Ferns' tuberous roots store water, and too much water may not be absorbed quickly by the ornamental plant. In the winter, reduce watering to once every two weeks.

When to Prune Foxtail Ferns

Whether used as an indoor plant, in hanging baskets, or in the garden, the foxtail fern's weeping habit requires only maintenance pruning. However, mature plants can become thin and leave behind bare stems. You can remove these bare stems by snipping them where the foliage stops on the plume.

These ferns can be divided each year and repotted in the spring. Start by removing the plant from its pot. Cut from the top of the rootball through the thick roots to the base of the rootball. Use a sharp knife to avoid tearing the roots. Repot the plants and water them as necessary.

Fertilizing Ferns

Throughout the growing season, spring to fall, you can fertilize this ornamental plant if you find that it needs it. Add houseplant or tropical plant food to wet soil once a month. Avoid adding plant food to dry soil, which may lead to root damage. Organic compost is another excellent way to boost your fern.

Where to Use Foxtail Ferns

Your USDA Zone will dictate whether or not to plant indoors or to find a permanent spot for it in your landscape. Since Foxtail Fern thrives in USDA Zones 9-11, gardeners in this area can plant it in shade gardens, and use it on the patio, or as an indoor plant.

For those in USDA Zones 8 or lower, we recommend planting in hanging baskets or containers that can be moved inside your home easily. The fragrant tiny white flowers and dense foliage plumes will provide visual interest for any setting. Be sure to place them by a bright window that will allow the indoor plant to thrive.

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.
