Description

The Purple Passion Asparagus will bring color to your garden!

This perennial vegetable is sweet and mild, with 20% more natural sugar. Purple or burgundy asparagus has sweeter stalks than green asparagus! These vitamin-rich spears are so tender, you can eat them right out of your garden.

You’ll love the unique, nutty flavor. The stalks of purple asparagus turn green when cooked. Purple Passion Asparagus is cold hardy and heat-tolerant.

Harvest asparagus plants from early April through mid-May.

Each order comes with a pack of 10 bare-root asparagus starts (mostly male).
