Developed in 1873 and listed in Australia by 1897, ‘Connover’s Colossal’ was the most popular asparagus variety for many years before being superseded by Mary Washington. Plants are long lived and productive once established, making this a rewarding crop for patient gardeners with space for a permanent bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"458\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 16 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"513\" data-end=\"668\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"513\" data-end=\"542\"\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"545\"\u003eTropics: April to June\u003cbr data-start=\"567\" data-end=\"570\"\u003eSubtropics: May to July\u003cbr data-start=\"593\" data-end=\"596\"\u003eMild climates: July to September\u003cbr data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"631\"\u003eCold climates: September to October\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"1077\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"691\"\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"691\" data-end=\"694\"\u003eSow seed 1 to 2 cm deep into well drained, fertile soil in full sun. Keep soil consistently moist during germination, which can take several weeks. Transplant or thin seedlings to 30 to 45 cm apart, with rows spaced 90 to 120 cm apart.
