Asparagus densiflorus (asparagus fern, plume asparagus, foxtail fern) is a variable evergreen perennial plant, closely related to the vegetable asparagus. It is native to southern Africa, from Mozambique to South Africa, but is widely cultivated.Asparagus densiflorus plants have a rhizomatous root system with long fibrous roots bearing oval, turgid, creamy-beige tubers all along with the side roots, which assist the plant in surviving long periods of drought. The evergreen, almost equally long stems of this plant, emerge at a central point directly from the ground, remaining close together, often become woody and spiny at their bases as they mature.
