Asparagus asparagoides is best grown in semi-shade or dappled shade, although it will grow in full shade to full sun. It is not fussy about soil, but performs best in well-drained, fertile, well-composted soil, with regular watering. Use it as a ground cover, allow it to cascade over a retaining wall or from a hanging basket. It can also be trained up a small trellis. It is suitable for containers and can be grown indoors. Once established, it is moderately drought resistant. The plant can be damaged and appears to be killed by frost, but will survive and resprout in the spring. Likewise, in extreme drought situations, the stems may die, but the rootstock will survive and send out new growth when watered again. When the plant becomes overgrown and untidy, it can be cut back to ground level and it will resprout.

This plant reproduces by seed and spreads by underground stem or rhizomes. Propagate it from seed or by dividing the clumps. Remove the thin fleshy coating from the fruit and sow the seeds in spring or summer, using a general, well-drained, sterile, sowing medium. Keep warm and moist, transplant the seedlings when they are large enough to handle and grow on in light shade. Take note, when dividing a clump, a new plant will grow from a piece of the rhizome, but not from a tuber, ideally plant a piece of rhizome that has a few tubers attached.
