  • Question

    I'm wondering what plant this is. I trimmed it back because it was out of control and getting tangled up in itself and there are no flowers at all. Thanks!

    Answer

    Dear Jamie707, without some additional information, it will be hard for me to supply a confident answer. Is the plant woody or herbaceous? Is it aromatic (if you bruise a leaf)? If you can help with these questions we might be able to help you with your question. You can email me at gobotany@newenglandwild.org. Jamie, you might want to compare images of Asparagus densiflorus (asparagus fern), which looks very similar to the image you've posted. Best wishes.
