Description
Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) is a perennial vegetable prized for its tender, edible shoots. It features feathery foliage and can reach heights of up to 1.5 meters. Asparagus plants are dioecious, meaning they have separate male and female plants. The young shoots are harvested for culinary use, while mature plants develop into attractive ferns. Asparagus thrives in well-drained, sandy soil and prefers full sun. It requires patience as it takes a few years to establish before harvesting begins.
