Asparagus


We currently grow four varieties of Asparagus. All are grown in 9cm pots. They are available from week 8 onwards. All pots come with a colour card and are grown with slow release fertiliser incorporated to prolong the shelf life.

Mary Washington - produces a heavy crop of tender, delicious, thick spears of rich dark green with a purple tinge. Connovers Colossal - produces a good crop of fairly thick spears, the foliage is also good for flower arranging. Gijnlim (F1) - very early cropping with top quality, medium thickness spears. suitable for both white and green spear production. Crimson Pacific (F1) - a high yielding plant producing a good crop of purple spears (pictured below). Excellent sweet flavour.
