Asparagus

With Asparagus fern you can go in so many different directions, it might dazzle you. Asparagus is a true allrounder, reliable, easy to grow and useful in a wide variety of situations… not to mention all the different shapes, forms and growth habits.

As one of the fastest growing and least demanding plants, these glorious greens are highly adaptable to various climates. They are fairly drought tolerant and can handle relatively cool temperatures and shady to bright light conditions (avoiding direct sunlight). You can grow them as long-lasting cut foliage, in pots and even – since some are quite root hardy – for landscaping. Go for a hanging or upright focal point and pick sturdy or soft and fuzzy items for your range. There is so much to choose from.

Evanthia offers starting material in the widest range of ornamental Asparagus and has build up a lot of technical knowledge and experience, to help you get started.
