This quirky and charming plant is sure to steal the show Despite its name, the Foxtail Fern isn t actually a true fern, but it certainly lives up to its wild, bushy appearance. Its tubular, needle-like fronds burst from a dense crown, creating a full, dramatic display of bright green foliage that radiates in all directions. Perfect for weaving through other plants in mixed containers, it also makes a striking statement when planted on its own, whether in a pot or as part of your landscape. Occasionally, tiny white flowers bloom among the pointed leaves, with short spines tucked in between. Known for being both deer- and rabbit-resistant, this tender evergreen thrives in warm climates, where it can overwinter, but is most commonly enjoyed as an annual in container gardens.
