Bridal Veil

Bridal Veil

Asparagus declinatus

Declared plant in South Australia

Description: Climbing perenial herd with bright green soft needle like leaves e-10mm long. The flower is similar to tht of Bridal Creeper but the fruit is green turning pale translucent when mature. Bridal Veil persists over the summer period through an underground rhizome with numerous tubers which form a dence mat.

Problem: It is highly aggressive and invasive and can out compete and displace native vegetation. The Dense mat of tubers prvents regeneration of native plants.

Spread: Birds and other animals consume the berries and spread  the seed to other areas of native vegetation. Pieces of tuber and rhizome, if broken off, are capable of producing new plants.
