Uses

<p>The young spears are a prized vegetable, eaten steamed, grilled, roasted or in soups and salads. The mature ferny foliage is also used decoratively in floral arrangements.</p>

Growing tips

<p>Soak seeds for a day, then sow <strong>1.5-2 cm deep</strong> in trays; germination is slow at <strong>14-28 days</strong>. Transplant seedlings to a permanent deep bed at 30-45 cm spacing after a few months. <strong>Do not harvest in the first 1-2 years</strong> to let crowns build strength; from the third spring, cut spears for 6-8 weeks when they reach 15-20 cm. Let remaining spears fern out to feed the crown.</p>

Frequently asked questions

When should I sow asparagus seeds in India?
Sow asparagus seeds in spring (February to March) or early monsoon, ideally in cooler regions and hill areas. Soaking the seeds for 24 hours before sowing speeds up the naturally slow germination.
How long before I can harvest asparagus?
Patience is key. Do not cut spears in the first one to two years so the crowns can establish. From the third spring you can harvest tender spears for several weeks each year, and the bed will keep producing for over a decade.
