Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Ornithogalum pyrenaicum, also called Prussian asparagus, wild asparagus, Bath asparagus, Pyrenees star of Bethlehem, or spiked star of Bethlehem, is a plant whose young flower shoots may be eaten as a vegetable, similar to asparagus.
The common name Bath asparagus comes from the fact it was once abundant near the city of the same name in England.[1]
Cultivation History
Cato the Elder recommends growing wild asparagus in his treatise De agri cultura.[2]
