Asparagus Varieties - Seed kit gift box

asparagus cultivation is astonishingly simple: The plants can remain in one patch for up to twelve years and can be harvested each year during this time.
For preservation of old varieties, the upbringing from seeds is even more advisable, as the seedlings that are usually sold are generally of the most common variety. Interestingly, sprouts from few other plants, like hops, can also be prepared like asparagus.

This seed kit contains 3 asparagus varieties:

• White Asparagus 'Ruhm von Braunschweig' (Asparagus officinalis)
  Highly aromatic. This white variety has become very rare and is hardly sold.
• Green asparagus "Mary Washington" (Asparagus officinalis)
  A very robust, low-maintenance green asparagus variety, that grows on different soils.
• Bath Asparagus (Ornithogalum pyrenaicum)
  This flavourful wild asparagus variety is easy to cultivate. On top, its beautiful white starshaped blossoms are quite decorative.

The seeds of each variety are packaged in a separate sachet.

The seed sachets and detailed growing instructions in German and English are packed in a beautiful gift box - a great, sustainable gift for the garden. Any plant lover will be pleased.
