❤️ Why you'll love it
A time-tested heirloom asparagus with tall, tender spears and excellent flavour. First introduced in the 1800s, this reliable variety produces thick green shoots with purplish tips, ideal for steaming, roasting, or adding fresh to spring dishes. Long-lived and productive, asparagus thrives in a sunny, well-drained spot and rewards patience with harvests for up to 20 years. Eventual height and spread 50cm. These are sold as crowns over the Autumn and Winter months.
🌿 Plant Details
Plant roots 10cm deep in light soil. Water often but do not allow to get water-logged. Only harvest 1/3 of spears for first 2 years.
Supplied bare root, carefully packed with a moisture source to ensure freshness. Plant height: approximately 10cm.
Please remember that most plants (except Evergreens) are dormant in Autumn/Winter so your order may have no leaves until Spring.
🪴 What Does Bare Root Mean?
Our plants have their full root systems but are carefully removed from the pot and soil before delivery. The roots are wrapped in moist material and eco-friendly packaging to keep them fresh during transit. It’s less messy, reduces waste, and allows the plant to settle into your garden more easily once planted.
