I am looking for a well rooted healthy foxtail fern. I have 1 purple velver plant, heart leaf and verigated philos, christmas cactus, and a red hibiscus for trade. God bless, Mary

Morning, Rhizo, no Google pics. :) Here's my Foxtail..sorry, pic was taken last year, but it's sill around. Ming Fern Plumosis Fern..though I cut it down S. Asparagus Fern, sold as variegated The Ming and Foxtail have grown a lot..don't know where they'll go this winter.. They love cool temps. Flower and berry in autumn. Flowers drop once indoors, but berries remain until red, and can last for months. Trying to decide if I should cut them back, 'if possible,' to bring indoors..I hate tossing remains though. Toni

Foxtail Ferns aren't ferns at all, but are in the Asparagus genus, Asparagus meyeri. Perhaps someone in the perennials forum would be able to help you with your question.

I agree - it will probably grow again from the crown. If so place a wire basket upside down over it to stop new damage - it will soon be covered by the new growth. I will soon have seed from my "foxtail" for a ssae so if you want some email me for details.
