When is asparagus in season in the UK?

Asparagus is in season in the UK from late April to mid-June. During this time, British-grown asparagus is at its freshest and has the best flavour. The exact length of the season can vary depending on the weather and growing conditions, but typically lasts around 8-12 weeks.

After the season, imported asparagus is available year-round, but its quality and flavour may not be as good as that of the in-season, UK-grown variety. To enjoy the best quality asparagus, it's recommended to buy it when it's in season, which is usually from late April to mid-June in the UK.
