Notes
'UC157 F2' asparagus (Asparagus officinalis 'UC157 F2') is a vegetable for borders and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first. This hybrid grows in an erect form and tolerates salt. It grows at a moderate pace, so give it time to settle in.
Pairs well with Bogatyr garlic, Oregon Giant pea, and Taiyo sunflower.
