Planting our Asparagus crowns is an excellent long-term way to get started, the plants producing heavy yields year after year. Asparagus plants need nourishment and water but are generally not too fussy when it comes to locations, however, we recommend they are planted in a good quality cultivated soil for best results. Growing asparagus is a long-term yet worthwhile investment and you should expect to see high, healthy yields for up to 20 years once established. Asparagus is tough and well suited to the UK climate.

‘Millennium’ asparagus is resistant to disease and produces a high-quality yield. Much like other types of asparagus you just need to plant in a sunny, well-sheltered spot with well-draining soil. A real crowd-pleaser come mealtime, this asparagus is both tender and delicious. The stalks also freeze well, making throwing some into a stir-fry or omelette a great way to your five a day, or even expanding the the range of veg for kids - sneak them in!
