Asparagus Backlim Crowns

RHS Award of Garden Merit
F1 Hybrids are crossed varieties that are exceptionally vigorous and longer lasting

There is surely nothing that even comes close to the delicious flavour of freshly harvested home grown British Asparagus, simply steamed and served with melting butter!

Have you considered an asparagus bed of your own? No crop rotation needed, once your bed is prepared, growing asparagus couldn't be simpler and it will crop for years - 20 years is not unusual!

Asparagus Backlim is a mid to late season male variety, with consistent yields of large, smooth spears with well closed tips. It boasts good disease resistance, and is a very reliable performer in the kitchen garden.

Marshalls supply one year old, well grown crowns. To allow optimum development do not cut in first year and cut spears only sparingly in second year.

Delivered Late March only
Quantity 10 Crowns
Catalogue Code 1080-6060

An excellent Asparagus. I bought your crowns last year and frankly I could not belive how large they were on arrival.
