Asparagus asparagoides



Asparagus asparagoides, sometimes grown as an ornamental plant, has become a serious environmental weed in Australia and New Zealand. It grows as a herbaceous vine with a scrambling or climbing habit which can reach 3 m (10 ft) in length.[3] It has shiny green leaf-like structures (phylloclades) which are flattened stems rather than true leaves. They measure up to 4 cm long by 2 cm wide. The pendent white flowers appear over winter and spring, from July to September. It is rhizomatous, and bears tubers which reach 6 cm (2.4 in) by 2 cm (1.8 in) in size. Bridal creeper is an aggressive and highly invasive weed that has serious impacts on the environment. It's considered invasive in Australia.
