"Very Wild" Asparagus — Asparagus officinalis ECOS

Hunting the Wild Asparagus-Cultivate It Yourself

‘Very Wild’ is a naturalized selection of asparagus that has a fuller flavor than the cultivated selections. The stalks tend to be thinner than named varieties. ‘Very Wild’ is disease and insect resistant with few viral problems that plague many of the named varieties. Plants are deep and thick rooted and can compete against quack grass. Our seed is collected from the most vigorous and long lived plants growing wild on our farm in an area that was previously a cow pasture. Most of these plants have been here for over 30 years and are still productive. Plants are grown in plug pots for 1 year. Plant the pot and all so the top is 2 inches below the soil. Each pot is multiple seeded to insure a good genetic mix. Spacing can be 1-2 ft. apart in the row. Medicinally, asparagus is a good diuretic and is known to help in protein conversion into amino acids.
