Description
Asparagus ‘Backlim’ is a reliable, mid season variety valued for its straight, uniform spears and excellent eating quality. It produces thick, well formed shoots with a tender texture and a mild, classic asparagus flavour, making it a popular choice for home gardens and kitchen plots alike.
This variety performs best in fertile, free-draining soil and establishes strongly once planted. ‘Backlim’ is known for its consistency and productivity, rewarding patient growers with steadily increasing harvests as the crowns mature. Its mid-season cropping helps bridge the gap between early and late varieties for a longer picking period.
If storing before planting, keep the crowns in a cool, dry and well ventilated place. Plant as soon as soil conditions are suitable, and with time it will develop into a robust asparagus bed, delivering dependable crops year after year.
