About Asparagus officinalis ‘Vegalim’ & ‘Vitalim’

‘Vegalim’ is a variety especially suited for growing green asparagus. The shoots grow above ground and turn green by exposure to light. Green asparagus has a strong, aromatic flavour and is easy to harvest without earthing.

‘Vitalim’ is a variety for growing white asparagus. The shoots grow underground and remain white because they do not get any light. This variety requires ridging to harvest beautiful, white asparagus with a mild, delicate flavour.

Asparagus plants form fine, fern-like foliage in summer that stores energy for the next season. In autumn, this above-ground foliage dies off completely. In winter, the plant is not visible above ground, before sprouting freshly in spring. This is a normal and important part of the growth cycle.
