Asparagus densiflorus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asparagus densiflorus (Sprenger's Asparagus; syn. Asparagus aethiopicus L., Asparagopsis densiflora Kunth, Protasparagus aethiopicus (L.) Oberm., Protasparagus densiflorus (Kunth) Oberm.) is a weed native to South Africa, which is often used as an ornamental plant. Asparagus densiflorus is toxic to domestic housecats.

Also known as 'Sprengers Asparagus', named after Carl Ludwig Sprenger who made it popular in Europe as an ornamental plant.

Now googling how to plant them and the result is as follows.

• Propagation: seed or division; roots develop fleshy nodules

Nothing about sticking some cuttings in a glass of water or some soil...
