Asparagus Guelph Eclipse Crowns

A new introduction from Canada, well suited to our UK climate. An early/mid season variety, this year we found it extremely early to harvest and is one that copes very well with an early heat spell. High yielding and vigorous, especially in the early years unlike many varieties, with thicker spears than many others. Our favourite for excellent all-round quality.

Asparagus is much easier to plant and to grow than many people think! Years ago it used to be grown in specially prepared raised beds, but today’s modern hybrid varieties perform really well ‘on the level’ and on most well drained soils. Try to pick a sunny position, removing all perennial weeds and as many stones as possible prior to planting.

Full planting and care instructions are included with every order.
