Unwins Asparagus Connover's Colossal

Unwins Asparagus Connover's Colossal Seeds produce delicious, tender asparagus spears with outstanding flavour and an early harvesting season. An RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, this traditional and highly regarded variety is prized for its reliability, productivity, and exceptional eating quality.

Home-grown asparagus is a true garden luxury, offering fresh, succulent spears that are far superior in flavour to many shop-bought alternatives. Once established, asparagus is a long-lived perennial crop that can continue producing harvests for 15 years or more, making it an excellent investment for any vegetable garden.

Perfect steamed, boiled, grilled, or lightly fried, the tender spears make a delicious seasonal treat, especially when served simply with butter, garlic, or a squeeze of lemon.
