For white asparagus, dig a furrow about twenty-five centimeters deep. After planting, create ridges to optimize growth and harvest. The recommended planting depth for green asparagus is 10 to 30 cm.

Distance

Keep plants 20 to 30 centimeters apart and rows 1.5 meters apart. The recommended planting density for asparagus is 4 to 6 plants per linear meter.

Varieties

Besides the well-known white and green asparagus, there are also purple asparagus varieties with unique characteristics. There are also dual-purpose varieties that can be used for both white and green asparagus.
