Name That Plant!

Please help me define this Asparagus

9 years ago

I have purchased couple Asparagus plants this spring. The nursery where they came from named this specimen as Asparagus officinalis "Nana". But the problem is that I can not find any other resource having description about this specimen except just the nursery's website.
My plants this year got height and width about 25-30 cm (10-12 in), but seems like they can be a little bigger in size +5-10 cm (2-4 in).
Anyway here is a photo and any help and advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I see Monrovia lists a Asparagus densiflorus 'Nana'. Could that be what you have?

FataMorgana, the one I have has thinnier needles and quite soft on touch.
But thanks for your advice. I have checked other A. densiflorus sorts and couple of them look very similar to my plant ('Sprengeri' and 'Sprengeri Compacta'). I think I will have to wait another season or two.
