  • Hardy and sun-loving: thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil (pH 6.5–7.5); expected plant height about 45 cm.
  • Low maintenance: sow February–June, allow about two years before first harvest, then enjoy easy-care vegetable production.

Sow: Feb to Jun
Harvest: May to Jun

Sowing Indoors
Sow seeds individually in small pots of moist seed compost 1 cm deep. Place in warmth 15–18 °C. Grow on under cool, light conditions, but not in direct sunlight.

Hardening Off / Planting Out
Gradually accustom young plants to conditions outside for 2–3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions when danger of frost has passed. Plant fairly deeply, leaving about 5 cm of soil above the level of the compost in the pots. Choose the site with care, as asparagus is a permanent crop and will remain harvestable for 15 years or more if desired.

Harvest
Using a sharp knife, cut stems just below the soil’s surface. Do not harvest initially until the second summer after sowing to allow the plant to develop, and then harvest sparingly for a further year.
