Plant details
Asparagus does not need traditional wide raised beds, nor is it the luxury crop often assumed. The plants have very decorative ferny foliage and may be grown in single rows in the kitchen garden, or even in groups in a flower border. Crowns can be bought for planting and will start cropping well 1-2 years later, or plants can be raised from seed. 'Dariana' is a high yielding F1 hybrid which is produces straight, high quality spears of superb flavour.

I went on to this page to find out what needs to be done with my new plants that have shoots on them.I planted them at easter and I have small shoots (6") do I cut them off or leave them to grow? will they die down for winter ? should I enjoy the fern or can I enjoy the fern or will this being left on make the plants weaker? thanks
