Considered by many to be a gourmet treat, asparagus is grown for its succulent tasty spears that can be harvested for up to eight weeks from mid-spring onwards. Traditionally grown from bare root plants, known as crowns, Pacific is one of the sweetest tasting varieties available. Asparagus will thrive if planted in a sunny, well-drained spot and will reward you with lots of tender spears that can be added to many dishes or simply eaten on their own try gently steaming, drizzling with olive oil and dressing with a few flakes of parmesan cheese. Yummy! Good preparation is essential for asparagus to thrive. Dig an 8in deep by 12in wide channel, spread some well-rotted mature along the bottom and cover with a 2in layer of excavated soil. Make a 4in high ridge of soil down the centre of the trench and place the crowns on top, 12in apart, spreading the roots evenly down each side. Carefully fill the trench with soil and water. Do not harvest any spears in Year 1, to build up strencgth of root systems for longer and bigger cropping. Enjoy the taste of freshly cut Asparagus in your garden - it's worth the wait!
Another name for this amazing shrub is the Yesterday-Today-and-Tomorrow tree, and its name comes from the way that the flowers change colour daily in a spectacular prism of violet-purple, lavender-blue and white - all over a period of three days.

Plant this sweetly-scented beauty on your patio or next to a path so that you can enjoy the lovely fragrance!

This will give you a good-sized clump straight away and you can lift and divide clumps as they expand.- If you prefer a more spaced display, then plant them in clumps in groups of 5 about 10cm (4in) apart. If your soil is heavy, add some horticultural grit to the planting hole.Aftercare Advice for Montbretia:- Water well and regularly.- Mulch corms in winter to preserve moisture.- Lift and divide clumps in spring if flowering diminishes.Pruning Advice for crocosmia:- Cut back dead leaves in spring.Planting Time:March - AprilSeptember - OctoberFlowering Time:August - SeptemberAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.
