Asparagus medeoloides smilax
Asparagus medeoloïdes smilax, also known as Asparagus asparagoides, is a low-growing subtropical beauty with a climbing and creeping growth habit. Unlike many other Asparagus species that have needle-like leaves, A. medeoloïdes smilax has small, oval-shaped leaves. This gives this decorative plant a soft and tender appearance, enhanced by its fresh, light green color. Asparagus medeoloïdes smilax is highly versatile. With its long decorative stems, it can be used as a hanging plant, as a guided climber, and as cut foliage. Asparagus medeoloïdes smilax is native to subtropical parts of southern Africa, where it grows as a perennial primarily in rainfall zones. Asparagus medeoloïdes smilax is also known as Bridal Creeper or Bridal Veil. Other internationally used names for Asparagus medeoloïdes smilax include: Bridal creeper; African asparagus fern; Bridal veil creeper; Cape smilax; Florist's smilax; Smilax; Medeola, Smilax asparagus, Liane asperge.
