Where does asparagus grow?

Asparagus is suitable for growing in the soil. It has strong adaptability and can grow in both high and low temperatures. It can be planted anywhere, but it is best to plant asparagus in a place with distinct four seasons. The soil should be loose, thick, and highly permeable.

Asparagus is native to the eastern coast of the Mediterranean and Asia Minor. In my country, asparagus is mainly distributed in Fujian, Henan, Shaanxi, Anhui, Sichuan, Tianjin and other places. It is also grown in Peru, Germany, France, Spain, the United States, Japan and other foreign regions.

Asparagus growing environment

1. Growth habits

Asparagus can be grown in both the north and south of my country. The yield is higher and the quality is lower in areas where the winter is not cold, while the quality is higher and the yield is lower in cold areas. Asparagus is suitable for growing in loose and breathable soil with deep soil layer, low groundwater level and good drainage.

2. Growth temperature

When asparagus seeds germinate, the temperature is 10℃, and the most suitable temperature for germination is 25-30℃, and the seedlings will emerge in about 11 days. The growth rate of asparagus is fastest when the temperature is 20-30℃, and it grows slowly when the temperature is below 15℃. 5-6℃ is the lowest temperature acceptable for asparagus growth. The tender stems begin to emerge from the soil surface at above 10℃. The quantity and quality of tender stems are good at 15-17℃, and the quality is poor when it is above 30℃.
