Edible Asparagus Plant “Asparagus officinalis”

Description

Edible Asparagus Plants – 1½-Year-Old (2-Litre Bag)
Skip the long wait and enjoy a head start on home-grown asparagus 🌱
These 1½-year-old asparagus plants are well-established and already past the slow seedling stage. Unlike asparagus grown from seed—which can take several years before producing usable spears—these plants will reach harvest stage much sooner, giving you earlier rewards in your vegetable garden.
Asparagus is a long-lived perennial vegetable, producing tender, delicious spears year after year once established. With proper care, plants can remain productive for 10–15 years or more.
Why choose established plants instead of seeds?
Faster time to first harvest
Strong, well-developed root system
Higher success rate than seedlings
Lower maintenance in the early growing stages
Growing Conditions
Sun: Full sun (at least 6–8 hours per day)
Soil: Deep, fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or well-rotted manure
Water: Regular watering, especially during establishment; avoid waterlogged soil
Spacing: Plant ±30–45 cm apart to allow room for long-term growth
Feeding: Feed in spring with a balanced organic fertiliser or compost
Climate: Hardy and suitable for most regions; goes dormant in winter and regrows in spring
⚠️ Tip: Avoid harvesting spears heavily in the first season after planting to allow the plant to strengthen for long-term productivity.
These established asparagus plants are ideal for home food gardens, raised beds, and edible landscapes, offering a faster, more reliable way to enjoy your own fresh asparagus.
