This exceptional perennial offers a mild, nutty flavor that will delight your customers and elevate their culinary experiences for years to come.

A Gourmet Delight for Discerning Gardens

This premium asparagus variety delivers exceptional value through its unique characteristics:

  • Stunning purple spears that create visual interest in both gardens and on plates
  • Sweeter, more tender texture than traditional green varieties
  • Contains 20% more natural sugar for enhanced flavor profile
  • Offers a distinctive mild, nutty taste that appeals to gourmet palates
  • Versatile for culinary use—can be enjoyed raw in salads to preserve the purple color or cooked using various methods
  • Rich in essential nutrients including vitamins B6, C, K, fiber, and various phytonutrients
  • Disease-resistant against common asparagus problems like rust and fusarium

The purple coloration comes from high levels of anthocyanins, the same beneficial antioxidants found in blueberries and other superfoods.

Growing Information

This hardy perennial thrives in USDA zones 3-8, preferring full sun and well-drained, sandy loam soil with neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Plant crowns 6-8 inches apart in rows spaced 2.5-3 feet apart.
