Asparagus officinalis 'Mondeo'

Asparagus officinalis, in general, is native to Europe and western Asia. ‘Mondeo’ is a cultivar of Asparagus officinalis, meaning it’s a specific variety bred for certain traits.

While ‘Mondeo’ was likely bred in Europe (given that most asparagus breeding occurs there), it’s *not* necessarily tied to a specific narrow geographical location within Europe in terms of its “native region.” Plant breeders often use germplasm from various locations and breed them in specific environments.

Therefore, the most accurate answer is: **Asparagus officinalis ‘Mondeo’ is a cultivar of *Asparagus officinalis*, which is native to Europe and western Asia. It was likely bred in Europe.**

It doesn’t have a specific, localized “native region” in the same way a wild plant species does. Its origin is the breeding process itself, rather than a naturally occurring population in a particular place.
