This collection consists of 24 asparagus crowns, 12 each of the following:
Asparagus ' Gijnlim' (early/mid season)
This male dominant F1 hybrid variety produces heavy crops of succulent green spears just one year after planting. It can also be grown as white asparagus if the plants are covered with a mound of sandy soil & harvested before they push through the ground.
Asparagus ' Stewarts violet' (mid/late season)
This violet hybrid is considerably sweeter than any of the green asparagus varieties. The low fibre content means the spears are particularly tender even when eaten raw, with virtually no waste at the base. Excellent cooked but also a very attractive & tasty addition to salads. Commercial trials have shown this variety to outyield many of the green types.
Available for delivery: late March
- late May.
