− | The vegetable known as Asparagus, is the specie '''''Asparagus officinalis''''', of the ''[[Asparagus (genus)|Asparagus]]'' genus, which has many [[Asparagus (genus)|other species]]. Once established, this is a very reliable, long-term perennial that will produce crops year after year. Takes 2-3 years for plants to reach full production, and after that a good spring crop should be produced for the next 10-15 years. Plants take a fair amount of room, producing grand and feathery branches, which are very ornamental. Plants make a good background for other vegetables or flowers, and look good along a sunny fence. | + | The vegetable known as Asparagus, is the specie '''''Asparagus officinalis''''', of the ''[[Asparagus (genus)|Asparagus]]'' genus, which has many [[Asparagus (genus)|other species]].
