Purple Passion Asparagus Plant

Like growing candy! Mixed in with strawberry plants and both are happy.

Received 60 roots and 59 came up. They are thriving in a special bed I made with the addition of several inches of sheep compost mixed into the garden bed soil.

Plants immediately took root and have grown a ton in the first year!

It's thriving and putting out over pencil size spears for its first set. Each set probably had 6-10 spears. Only 1 out of the 10 did not grow.

They all came up and are healthy! This is the first year we planted them. Have to wait a year or two to harvest

Patience has finally paid off in my 5a garden! I planted these bare root plants in a small raised bed three years ago, and patiently waited for the plants to establish before finally enjoying a small harvest this spring. The stalks were delicious and tender. I left many to mature, which have grown into a dense patch of foliage. A wonderful bonus was that in early summer the plants were absolutely COVERED in ladybugs and larvae, which I observed spreading through the rest garden and munching on aphids! I also noticed that I have both male and female stalks, and the plants are now bearing tons of red berries, which I will save and replant.

High success rate. Delicious variety, sweet and oh so tender. Oh yeah.

So far, so good. I planted they all grew and are in the fern stage. Excited for next year...and especially for the third year when we can finally have a little to eat!

I have never grown asparagus before but these roots took right off and are doing great. Read you shouldn't pick the first year but I just had to try one. Super good! cant wait til next summer

These seem to be very sturdy stock. I am so excited to try them next spring when they are 3 years old. They look very tender and yummy
