    I bought this plant a few years ago and i can't figure out what it is. I saw some pictures on the internet that said it was an asparagus fern but i don't think that is correct. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Looks like Asparagus setaceus, Asparagus Fern.

    You're welcome. I think the confusion may be the result of a number of plants in the genus Asparagus sharing the common name "asparagus fern".

    It's an Asparagus, not a Fern.
