Asparagus ferns are simple to propagate at home using seeds taken from the berries, but they will not grow from cuttings or sprigs like many other common foliage plants. The seeds will germinate any time of year, but they need a brief pretreatment to help them sprout.


SEED GERMINATION: Sow seed anytime of the year (early spring is best) in Park's Grow Mix covering seed lightly and maintain a soil temperature of 70 to 80 degrees. Seed should be soaked for 24 hours for best germination. Germination takes place 4 to 7 weeks.

Moisten your potting medium or garden soil, then place the seeds on top and press them down gently. Do not cover the seeds with soil as they need light to germinate. Place in a location that receives indirect sunlight. Maintain even moisture, watering before the soil dries out completely.

It is hardy in zones 9-11 but the roots will often survive to zone 7 if protected. In more temperate climates, it is used as a seasonal annual or container plant. In its native habitat, asparagus fern is found in shady, sandy sites, including coastal dunes, open rocky places and woods.. . . . .364011236412!]0000000000000009783314146971!]
