Asparagus Fern has been in my garden for about 3 years now.. I read how sensitive they are to sunlight, but she’s loving the part sun part shade. What do my Fern Friends think? Or maybe it’s not an Asparagus Fern? lol

I have an asparagus fern in a southwest corner window that gets a lot of afternoon sun. It seems to be doing just fine! I do need to make sure to water more often, though.

So is it an asparagus or fox tail or both 😂

Ah, foxtail fern. You’re right! A foxtail is a type of asparagus
