Purple Passion Asparagus Seeds

Be the first to review this product

Asparagus officinalis. (F1) Purple Passion Asparagus. The plant produces high yields of deep purple (burgundy) spears that have a creamy green interior. The spears are notably sweeter and more tender than standard green asparagus, with about 20% higher sugar content. The purple color fades or mutes to green when cooked, but it stays vibrant raw, making it excellent for salads or fresh eating. Perfect for gourmet dishes. It is ready to harvest about a year earlier than most varieties. Asparagus is a perennial vegetable, so you plant it just once and enjoy season after season. An excellent choice for home gardens, Farmer’s Markets, and market growers. A variety from the USA.
