Buy asparagus plants: enjoy fresh asparagus for years to come

Asparagus plants are perennials that reward you with a delicious harvest every spring. They require little maintenance but offer a lot in return: flavor, the joy of harvesting, and satisfaction. The plants are delivered as "claws" and grow into robust plants that become stronger each year. Perfect for anyone who wants to make their vegetable garden sustainable and productive.

How to plant and care for asparagus claws

1. Soil type : Well-drained, rich in compost. Avoid heavy, wet clay soil.
2. Sowing time : Plant the asparagus claws in March or April.
3. Planting depth : Dig a trench 10 inches deep.
4. Spacing : Plant the plants 30-40 cm apart and keep 1.5 metres between the rows.
5. Harvest : Harvest only from the third year onwards. This allows the plant to develop optimally.

Tips for successful asparagus cultivation

• Earthing up is essential for white asparagus: cover the stems with a ridge to keep them white.
• You don't need to earth up green asparagus – it grows above ground.
• In autumn, cut back the foliage if it has turned yellow.
• In the second year, allow everything to continue growing: this way the plant builds up strength.
