Asparagus
Asparagus is a rewarding addition to any home garden, offering fresh, flavorful spears year after year. With proper care, this long-lasting perennial can thrive for up to 20 years, making it an essential choice for both new and experienced gardeners.
Planting Guidelines
Plant asparagus crowns from April to May to ensure optimal growth. Choose a deep, rich, and well-drained soil, free from perennial weeds. Space the crowns 22 cm apart in rows that are 45 cm apart. Preparing the soil by adding quality farmyard manure in autumn will promote healthy development.
Variety Selection
We offer a range of asparagus varieties to suit different garden preferences. From traditional green asparagus to unique purple varieties, you can choose the type that best fits your garden aesthetic and culinary needs. Explore our Asparagus Plants collection to find the perfect variety for your space.
Maintenance Tips
Maintaining your asparagus bed is straightforward. Ensure regular watering, especially during dry spells, and apply annual fertilization to support vigorous growth. Consistent weed control is essential to keep your asparagus healthy and productive.
