*Notes: Male plants produce better thicker spears so female plants should be removed (female plants produce red poisonous berries). Plants die back every winter and re-sprout every spring. Plants should be grown without interference for the first 2 years to establish a strong root structure, once this is done plants will start producing thick spears that can be cut at ground level as they appear. Plants last 20 years or more.

Ratings & Reviews
Asparagus- Argenteuil
Sowed directly into a prepared bed in Sep 2021 (Adelaide SA), the same time I sowed Connover’s Collossol in the first bed. Waited patiently for 1 complete cycle, and this year harvested a few fat spears. Looking forward to many more years of asparagus from my 2 beds.
