Asparagus aethiopicus, Sprenger's asparagus, is a plant native to the Cape Provinces and the Northern Provinces of South Africa. Often used as an ornamental plant, it is considered an invasive weed in many locations. Asparagus fern, asparagus grass and foxtail fern are common names; however, it is unrelated to true ferns.[3] A. aethiopicus has been confused with A. densiflorus, now regarded as a separate species,[4][5] so that information about A. aethiopicus will often be found under the name A. densiflorus.
