Asparagus Crowns

Asparagus crowns offer rich rewards, each yielding up to 25 spears a year for approximately 25 years. A delicious perennial vegetable, there’s nothing quite like homegrown spears that are picked and eaten the same day. Try our ‘Continuity Collection’ if you’re after a mix of early, medium and late varieties, or invest in a single variety if you prefer a more concentrated harvest. Browse our full range of quality vegetable plants for more ideas.

You can maximise the productivity of your asparagus crowns by planting them in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. Regular feeding and mulching will help maintain soil fertility and moisture, supporting healthy growth and a decent harvest.

Which asparagus varieties give the highest yields?

Asparagus varieties like 'Gijnlim' and ‘Guelph Eclipse’ are known for their high yields, consistently producing an abundance of spears throughout the harvest season.

Which asparagus varieties are best for forcing?

Asparagus 'Backlim' and 'Vittorio' are top choices for forcing, allowing you to enjoy tender, early-season asparagus well before the usual harvest time.

Which asparagus varieties are best for late-season harvests?

For extending your asparagus harvest into the late season, Asparagus 'Guelph Millennium' and 'Mondeo' are excellent options as they produce spears later in the season, giving you a longer harvest period.

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
