The Prius asparagus variety is perfect for the enthusiastic home gardener who wants to harvest early and loves tasty asparagus. This variety is wonderfully versatile, because you can grow both white and green asparagus with it - whatever you prefer! Prius does well in light sandy soil and medium clay soil and feels right at home in full sun. Give it well-drained soil and you will get sturdy, upright stalks that are easy to peel and taste wonderfully mild.
Are you going for white asparagus? Prius gives you beautiful, tightly closed heads with a beautiful white color and a strong resistance to rust. Prefer green? That is also possible! This variety grows fantastically as green asparagus. The choice is yours: white or green – Prius can do both.
Cultivation information:
- No harvest in the first year, so that the plant can use its energy to grow strong.
- In the 2nd year you can harvest one asparagus stalk per plant.
- In the 3rd year you can harvest a limited amount, for example once a week per plant.
- From the 4th year you can harvest abundantly until mid-June.
How many plants are needed for a weekly meal per person? For a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children), 10 plants are sufficient for a harvest from April to June 21. This is 7 to 8 weeks of enjoying fresh asparagus.

Storing asparagus claws
Storing asparagus claws
Asparagus claws are best planted out immediately upon receipt. If you can't do it right away, store them in the refrigerator, shed or cellar at around 4ºC to prevent them from sprouting. Leave them in the bag to prevent them from drying out. They can be stored for a maximum of 7-10 days before planting them out.
Want to keep them longer? Take them out of the bag and put them in a sealed bucket with slightly moist sowing or cutting soil. Be careful: not too wet, because then they will rot. The sooner they are planted, the better! Want to know more about planting? Read our blog or watch our video .
