Purple Passion Asparagus Crowns (4ct.)

1-year-old crowns

Beautiful purple plants that turn green when cooked. Tender if eaten fresh or cooked. The plants are cold hardy to zone 3 to zone 9. These crowns are mature and ready to grow the moment you plant them.

Wondering how much to grow? Established asparagus plants produce about 1/2lb. of spears per bed foot in spring/early summer. If you are getting asparagus established for the first time, we recommend 5-10 crowns per person. (covers 15-30 row feet) 

As soon as you get these plants, they must be planted. fertilize with a well-balanced fertilizer and water well. Bury the entire crown so that the tip of the crown is around 2 inches below the soil level. This will protect the crown from any cold weather. Do not harvest the first year. Let plants become established before harvesting.
