Victoria, BC(Zone 8b)

Might be able to find seed for them. Might also try finding them sold as house plants.

Prairieville, LA(Zone 9a)

I am afraid you may have to pass on the Asparagus ferns. Sale or supply of them is strictly prohibited in Australia

i can't say I am surprised. With their extensive root system and drought tolerance....

Are there any all male varieties like standard asparagus?

According to this link there are three dioecious species

Asparagus racemosa is a native here in northern Australia. It's relatively common. I've got some on my place but it's not invasive, it doesn't take over.

Hi Tropicbreeze. I was surprised that 2 of the 3 ASP Ferns Amber was looking for were on a prohibited list, so didn't know if any were available for retail.

Asparagus ferns have been kept as potted plants for a long time in southern areas. I don't know which species they were. But apparently plants thrown out began to spread like weeds. They were generally exotics (foreign), from Africa I think. In the north here, however, there's a tropical species which wouldn't survive down south, outdoors at least. Never seen it in cultivation here. It's common enough out bush though, but it doesn't tend to take over. That's why I say it's not invasive. You won't find it coming up everywhere and smothering other plants.

I was surprised that they were on a prohibited plant list. I did not know that they were considered invasive in AU.
