Asparagus falcatus is a variety of asparagus fern with long sickle-like shiny green leaves. It is a robust, vigorous climber with thorns on older, woody stems. Fast growing and with casual care requirements. Tiny white flowers appear in late summer which sometimes develop into small, red berries. Asparagus falcatus can be trained to grow up a pole and can reach a height of 3m unless pruned to required height.

Asparagus falcatus is also sometimes known as Sicklethorn. Although it is called a fern, it is actually a member of the lily family.
