This wild asparagus variety is also known as stinging asparagus or asparagus corruda. In the whole Mediterranean area, i.e. Italy, France, and Spain, the young sprouts are often collected and considered a delicacy. It blooms in late summer and has small green-yellow blossoms and berries that ripen from green to black. The blooming or berry-bearing branches are suitable as cut flowers.

The plant can reach up to 2 metres in height and hibernates as a rhizome in the soil (in mild winters and protected locations, the lignified, celestial plant part can also survive).

Asparagus Acutifolius is a climbing plant in terms of its growth form that forms several metres long lianas that don't trail but grow as lignifying side shoots near-ground. Only the very young shoots are edible and significantly thinner than those of the cultivated asparagus. They have a very intense flavour.

Growing advice

Sunlight:	Shade Full sun
Sowing depth:	1 cm
Planting distance:	75 cm
Row spacing:	100 cm
Germination temperature:	10-18°C
When to sow outdoors:	March

Asparagus seeds can pre-soak a few hours in lukewarm water to increase their germination rate. Then, sow them in seed compost. Strong young plants can be planted in the garden in spring. The next year after the winter, the plants then start forming shoots.

First, only a few of them should be harvested. If you let the asparagus plant grow, it will regrow for many years again and again. Occasional compost and mulching are recommended.

When cultivating in pots, the plant should be hibernated frost-free in the winter garden (above 5°C). Outdoors, it can also survive the Central European winter in protected places.
