Sweet Purple Asparagus - 10 Bulbs

Larger and more tender option to green asparagus. Wonderfully mild, nutty flavor when cooked; 20% higher sugar content than green varieties makes for more flavorful asparagus. Spears turn green when cooked.

  • Light: Full sun
  • Planting Instructions: Plant in Spring. Plant in well-draining soil in full sun. Resists fusarium, rust, and crown rot. For best results follow the planting instructions on the back of the package.  
  • Mature Height: 24-36 inches
  • Additional Notes: Do not harvest asparagus the year it is planted. A light harvest may be taken during the second season. Harvest spears with tight tips by snapping the 7-9 inch stalks near the ground. Once established, pick all the spears produced. Do not allow them to fern out. This gives asparagus beetles a home to lay their eggs.

"Every time I walk into Bath I’m greeted by the kindest and most helpful people! Additionally they have a fantastic selection of everything you can think of! (I’ve even bought clothing and jewelry here! It’s much more than just a nursery). Today I had the good fortune of being greeted and helped by Wyatt. I went in with absolutely no idea what to do with my garden spaces…they’re huge and overwhelming. I showed Wyatt photos of my spaces and jokingly asked Wyatt if he could just design my spaces for me….and he replied “yes!”….he took me around, asked what I liked, told me how to mix color, grasses and heights, etc…he was a wealth of info and help! I’m so grateful and I love how it all turned out! Thank you, Bath, for having great products, and a special BIG shoutout to Wyatt! You are awesome!!! (Also, Wyatt should get a bonus because I walked out with 22 perennials😂)."
