Fern, Foxtail

Fern, Foxtail

Botanical Name: Asparagus sprengeri 'Meyerii'

Semi-hardy herbaceous perennial with arching, feather stems that form a dense frond with a open 'fluffy' look that resembles a fox's tail. Ideal for containers to relocate in the winter to protect from freezing temperatures. 

Small white flowers start to appear in the late spring and summer, followed by bright red berries with seeds instead of spores which disqualifies this plant as a true fern.

Fern, Holly

Fern, Holly

Botanical Name: Cyrtomium falcatum

Evergreen fern that performs exceptionally well in acidic soils with good drainage and regular fertilization. Forms a rounded mound of glossy dark green leaves that unfurl and lay down slightly. The name comes from the holy-like leaves on the fronds. It tolerates sun better than other ferns, however the strong Texas heat combined with the sunlight will burn the foliage. 

Grows back easily after a heavy trimming when the foliage becomes sunburned or frayed - use caution not to cut into the crown.

Fern, River

Fern, River

Botanical Name: Dryopteris normalis

Fast growing Texas native fern that demands moist, well drained acidic soils throughout the spring and summer. Semi-evergreen in warmer areas, but dies back to the roots completely if temperatures drop below freezing. Leaves are a light green hue, very graceful and delicate. Spreads easily by underground runners. 

Although it is drought tolerant, it dies back to the roots and will only return during wet conditions. Will outright die within twelve months if the conditions do not become favorable.

Fern, Sprengeri

Fern, Sprengeri

Botanical Name: Asparagus densiflorus 'Sprengeri'

Open airy leaves and the light graceful form gave this plant it's name, however it is not a true fern as it self propagates by seeds and root stems. Small white flowers appear in the summer, followed by red berries that are enjoyed by birds.

Turns an unsightly shade of yellow in the heat of full sun, however maintains a healthy dark green in shade.

Fig Vine

Fig Vine

Botanical Name: Ficus pumila

A vigorous growing vine native to East Asia that has found itself useful in the southern Texas landscapes.

Two types of leaves exist for the Fig Vine; the young leaves are small, no larger than one inch and are borne on young stems that do nothing more than climb any surface they touch. This, coupled with the vigorous growth habit allow Fig Vine to cover walls, trees, and even buildings relatively quickly and completely. Once the vine finds it has nothing left to climb, adult stems will emerge with larger, thicker leaves, and will also bear non-edible fig fruits.

Fig Vine is very tolerant of poor soil and heat. Harsh winters can kill the vine back; otherwise pruning it constantly to keep under control will be required. Be aware of the surfaces it will come into contact with, as it will damage wood fences and brick walls if forcefully removed. If you wish to remove Fig Vine with minimal damage, destroy the plant or stems at the base and allow the foliage to decompose naturally.
