Notes
'Gijnlim' asparagus (Asparagus officinalis 'Gijnlim') is a perennial vegetable for food gardens and borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy soil. It grows at a moderate pace and has an erect habit. It tolerates salt, so it can handle roadside beds. Small blooms open from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Honey Gold peony, Thalia daffodil, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
