We grow willd asparagus plants (Asparagus acutifolia) from seed .
A lot of plants have already been grown in our nursery.
In nature we find them in areas with Mediterranean climate, but we have proven by experiments that they can survive -20 ° C without any problems (and without winter protection). They must although be planted in well-drained soil, as stagnant water in the root area can kill them.
Our plants have been growing in Logatec for about 8 years now.
The following minimum temperatures were recorded during this period (screenshots of the weather station - from the page www.wunderground.com):
-21,1°C in December 2014
-20,6°C in January 2017
-21,7°C in February 2018

Our wild asparagus is an evergreen perennial that has pungent shoots.
The flowers are bright yellow.
Very few plants develop seeds. Wild asparagus is a dioecious plant, which means that there are both female and male plants.
