5 Seeds Shatavari Asparagus racemosus Herb Plant

Shatavari is a perennial climbing plant in the Asparagaceae family, native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, valued by gardeners for its feathery foliage andarching stems. It grows from a tuberous root system and produces small white flowers followed by small berries, making it an attractive ornamental climber for trellises, trellis nets, and containers in warm climates. This listing offers five seeds of Asparagus racemosus for home propagation.
Shatavari works well as a foliage accent in mixed borders, pollinator gardens, and greenhouse collections, where its fine textured fronds contrast nicely with broad leaved plants. It is typically grown as an ornamental and culinary garden specimen; the young shoots can be used like asparagus in some traditions. Provide a support structure for the twining stems and allow room for its spreading habit. In cooler zones it can be grown in containers and overwintered indoors.
