Asparagus pseudoscaber 'Spitzenschleier' (may also be seen as Asparagus officinalis var. pseudoscaber 'Spitzenschleier' ('Lace Veil') - Beautiful and feathery Asparagus, 'Lace Veil' makes a graceful, soft counterpart to bold-leaved plants in your most coveted section of the world: your landscape. Stems are upright and may lean away from the imaginary central axis providing for a very gentle affect, loosely vase-shaped.

These may give way to red autumn berries that adorn all stems while the gorgeous green turns bright golden yellow.

And it may be used as a houseplant though bear in mind this is not an edible Asparagus; in fact, it is poisonous to pets and humans alike. Site in part to full sun planted in fertile, draining soil.
