Meet the Asparagus Family
Green plants are more popular than ever and the Asparagus familyfits perfectly within this growing trend.
With their elegant forms, rich textures, and versatile applications, Asparagus plants add character to interiors, gardens, and floral arrangements.
Asparagus is known for its relatively simple and energy-efficient cultivation and strong performance
under different climate conditions, therefore they are reliable plants with many possibilities.
Our Asparagus Family
At Evanthia, we offer raw materials in a wide range of ornamental Asparagus varieties, available all year round as seeds and young plants.
With our cultivation experience and technical knowledge, we support growers in getting started.
Our Asparagus family:
· Asparagus densiflorus myriocladus — Ming fern
· Asparagus falcatus — Sicklethorn
· Asparagusdensiflorus meyerii — Foxtail fern
· Asparagus densiflorus 'Sprengerii' —Sprengeri asparagus fern
· Asparagussetaceus plumosus nanus — Plumosa fern
· Asparagus densiflorus 'Crebe' — Emerald fern
Each variety has its own leaf structure and growth form.
As a result, Asparagus can be widely used: as a pot plant, garden plant or as cut green in flower arrangements.
In the spotlight: Asparagus densiflorus meyerii
A special appearance within the family is Asparagus densiflorus meyerii, also known as the Foxtail fern. This subtropical plant grows compact and erect and forms long, plume-like stems that are reminiscent of soft fox tails. The bright green, needle-like leaves provide a striking structure and give the plant a decorative appearance. As a result, this Asparagus is versatile in use: as houseplant, garden plant, hanging plant or if structurally rich green leaves in bouquets. This species is native to East and South Africa, where it grows in shady forests and savannah areas. This origin makes the plant strong and adaptable.
Good news for growers: Asparagus densiflorus meyerii has recently shown an exceptionally high germination rate, so extra young plants are currently available.
At Evanthia, the starting material of this variety is available all year round as seeds and young plants from seeds.

Drought-tolerant plants are becoming increasingly important for growers
Less water, same quality
In various production regions, pressure on available water resources is increasing. As a result, growers are actively seeking crops that use water more efficiently without compromising on quality, uniformity, and ornamental value.
"We observe that growers are increasingly requesting varieties that maintain stable performance under challenging conditions. This is not only due to regulations but also because their customers are more explicitly demanding it."
