Grow your own delicious asparagus at home with our Asparagus Crowns (Asparagus officinalis). Once established, asparagus is a fantastic long-term addition to the vegetable garden, producing fresh, tender spears each spring for many years.
Choose from Avalim, Boonlim, Erasmus, Gijnlim, Millennium, Pacific Purple, Tiemlim, Backlim or Mixed. With a selection of proven varieties available, there's an option for both new and experienced growers.
Plant your Asparagus officinalis crowns in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, free-draining soil. Asparagus takes a little patience while establishing, but it's well worth the wait once those first homegrown spears are ready to harvest.
Perfect for allotments, raised beds and dedicated asparagus beds, Asparagus Crowns are a rewarding choice for anyone looking to grow fresh vegetables at home year after year.
