Description

Some say Purple Passion Asparagus is the best variety. This variety produces beautiful dark purple spears that are sweeter than standard green varieties. Asparagus plants are perennials that can easily produce for 20+ years, so give this vegetable a permanent and sunny spot in your garden. To ensure many years of future production, wait until the second year to cut and consume the spears.

⚠️ F1 Hybrid - These crowns are 2-year-old bare roots that are all male, which means possibly higher (3-4 times) yields.

Did not grow despite good soil and following instructions.

Planted the same day they arrived (3.8.23)- following all of the instructions - in the same soil mix the Millenium crown was planted in. Millenium has been happily sprouting for at least a week, but the Purple Passion shows zero signs of growth.

Asparagus

I received my asparagus crowns timely and they were well packaged. I have the crowns planted in a large container to hold them until fall planting for my Zone 8a. I'm looking forward to tasty spears three years from now!
