An extremely versatile and hardy evergreen perennial with its decorative, finely textured foliage, coppery new growth, pretty white flowers and bright berries makes it an rewarding plant for any gardener, as it is an especially easy plant for beginner gardeners to use and enjoy, as it is so very easy to grow and does not require any special care. This asparagus fern grows in any soil and will tolerate some drought and periods of neglect once established, but it does look its best in well-drained soil which is rich in organic matter. Asparagus densiflorus is adapted to a variety of conditions, growing in bright light or semi-shade, but out of direct sun.  This cultivar looks best when grown in full/dappled/light or semi-shade. Generally the plants require no more fertilizing than a biannual application of well-rotted compost.

Asparagus densiflorus ‘Cwebe’ does well outdoors in the garden massed as a groundcover, or as filler plants. The fine foliage can be used to good visual effect for textural contrast in combination with plants having larger leaves and is also very suitable to being used to complement water features, such as ponds. Water only moderately as the plant’s thick, tuberous roots store water. As a waterwise, shade-loving plant, they are well suited for growing in the dry shade conditions found under trees, where few plants thrive. It combines well with other shade-loving plants, such as species of Streptocarpus, Chlorophytum, Plectranthus , Scadoxus, Clivia and Hypoestes. Can also be used as house plants indoors and on covered patios, being hardy they do well in containers/pots, in hanging baskets, even in retaining walls. The foliage can also be incorporated as filler material between cut flowers in floral arrangements.

This plant is low maintenance as it only requires dead fronds or the occasional old, yellowed stem to be cut away. To rejuvenate the plants, they can be cut back hard, right at the base, after flowering in May or in early spring, in September, before new growth begins. The same can be done if fronds are damaged/broken or ‘burnt’ by frost. Afterwards a mulch of thick compost can be spread around the plant’s base to provide the food support needed for replenishing lost top growth. The plants will produce new healthier, greener foliage after pruning. The plants are generally and naturally pest and disease free.

Asparagus densiflorus ‘Cwebe’ is easily propagated from seed. Cuttings are not a viable method of propagation. Collect fully ripened fruit then remove the seeds from the fleshy berries; there is no pre-treatment of the seeds required. Sow seed fresh for best results in a suitable sowing medium, keep in a warm spot in an area that is protected from the wind, in light shade; ensure the soil stays moist but not wet, by watering as required. The seeds will germinate in 4 to 6 weeks; the growth from seeds is slow but steady. Fertilize with a liquid fertilizer at regular intervals to ensure flourishing and plentiful growth during the growing on stage. Prick out seedlings when well grown, and repot into a compost-rich, loamy medium. Grow on in light shade, and water regularly until roots are visible growing out the growing container’s drainage holes. Plants can then be planted out into a larger pot, or directly into the garden.

Division by separating the tubers into clumps just as growth starts in spring, is also an option, but most often is a less successful way of increasing this particular cultivar.
