A-quality asparagus plants for the cultivation of white and green asparagus

The Prius asparagus variety is perfect for the enthusiastic home gardener who wants an early harvest and loves flavorful asparagus. This variety is wonderfully versatile, as you can grow both white and green asparagus—whichever you prefer! Prius thrives in light sandy and medium-heavy clay soil and is perfectly at home in full sun. Plant it in well-drained soil, and you'll get sturdy, upright stalks that are easy to peel and have a wonderfully mild flavor.

Looking for white asparagus? Prius produces beautiful, tightly closed heads with a lovely white color and strong rust resistance. Prefer green? That's possible too! This variety grows fantastically as green asparagus. The choice is yours: white or green – Prius can do both.

Cultivation information:

• No harvest in the first year, so that the plant can use its energy to grow strong.
• In the second year you can harvest one asparagus stalk per plant.
• In the 3rd year you can harvest a limited amount, for example once a week per plant.
• From the 4th year you can harvest abundantly until mid-June.

Location and soil type
Prius thrives in deep, well-drained sandy and clay soils. The plants do not like wet feet; the groundwater should be at least 20 cm below the surface, although temporary winter watering is not a problem.

How many plants are needed for a weekly meal per person?
For a family of four (2 adults and 2 children), 10 plants are enough for a harvest from April to June 21st. This means 7 to 8 weeks of fresh asparagus enjoyment.
