This is an extremely easy perennial plant to raise cheaply from seed if you have a little patience which will reward you with prolific crops for many years with little effort. Tasty shoots are thick, straight, dark green with purple colour at the tightly folded tips. One of the most popular asparagus varieties. Excellent for home gardens. Graceful, feathery green foliage remains attractive long after harvest. Highly resistant to asparagus rust. Uniform heavy yields. Full or partial sun.
