Asparagus medeoloides smilax
Asparagus medeoloïdes smilax, a.k.a. Asparagus asparagoïdes, is a low-growing subtropical beauty, with a climbing and creeping habit. Unlike many other Asparagus that have needle-like leaves, A. medeoloïdes smilax has tiny, oval-shaped leaves. This gives this evergreen a soft and tender appearance, enhanced by its fresh, light green colour. Asparagus medeoloïdes smilax is super versatile. With its long trailing branches, it can be grown as a hanging plant, as well as a guided climber and is used for cut foliage too. Asparagus medeoloïdes smilax is native to subtropical parts of Southern Africa, where it grows as a perennial vine, mainly in rainfall zones. Asparagus medeoloïdes smilax is commonly known as Bridal creeper. Other internationally used common names for Asparagus medeoloïdes smilax are: African asparagus fern; Bridal veil creeper; Cape smilax; Florist's smilax; Smilax; Medeola, Smilax asparagus, Liane asperge.
