Description

Full sun, drought resistant, and zone 2

Asparagus officinalis ‘Sweet purple’

Pot size #1

Larger and tenderer option to green asparagus. Wonderfully mild, nutty flavor when cooked, its 20% higher sugar content than green varieties makes Sweet Purple delicious even raw! Spears turn green when cooked.

Drought tolerant, but prefers a moist, well-drained soil.
