We show the best new and well-tried asparagus varieties. It is best to buy rhizomes or seeds of these varieties from specialist dealers on the Internet.
The numerous varieties of the asparagus differ mainly in their size, color, sowing and harvesting times.
Here at Plantura we have listed a few well-known asparagus varieties for you:
- Argenteuil: Early variety from France with a high yield; very delicious.
- Mary Washington: A very popular green asparagus variety, especially in the USA; fast growing and aromatic.
- Ramada: New breed from Baden-Württemberg with a very early onset and high yield; good thickness (16-26mm) and high quality of the bars; robust variety for the home garden.
- Ramires: Modern variety with very early and high yields; despite the very early harvest time, the stalks have a good diameter (16-26 mm); ideal asparagus variety for the home garden (3 plants per linear meter) with excellent taste.
- Rapsody: New variety of asparagus with a high yield; also tolerates heavy soils well; Rapsody is suitable for deep planting, which then delays the harvest; if you combine an early asparagus variety with rapsody, you can harvest tasty asparagus over a long period of time; ideal variety for the home garden.
- Steineo (F1): Good variety for white asparagus; good aroma, high yield and medium thick stalks.
- Steinivia (F1): Very good variety for the home garden with a high yield and a pleasant aroma.
- Viking: Very productive and robust variety.
