A garden flower photo

I think it's some type of fern??? Really hardy, stays out all winter.

No, not rosemary...have that one. They call it an asparagus fern here in greece. Don't know the name for it in english. Will look it up. Thanks

There you go. We figured it out then, Asparagus Fern it is. I'm going to put it in a bigger pot...

This asparagus fern is one of the biggest weeds here in San Diego, CA. They're very difficult to get rid of once established in the ground. It's best as a potted plants like how you're growing it. : > )

Yes you are right. My mom had one in ground.....huge. I think it's still there. This is a part of that one. It needs a higher pot to show it off better.

This Asparagus fern has many tuber-like roots which store water and spread...plus they develop the red seeds which germinate easily even in the driest of soils.
