Growing Information

Asparagus is a long-term garden investment. Choose a permanent location where the plants can remain undisturbed for years. Suitable locations include a large field, the north edge of a garden, or an edible landscape.

Purple Passion is suitable for areas where temperatures freeze, including USDA Zones 3–9. The seller notes that it is not suited to the wet, mild regions of Florida and the Gulf Coast.

The seller recommends planting at least 10 crowns for each family member who enjoys asparagus. A 20-crown order can help establish a substantial home asparagus planting.

Its soft-textured foliage also makes an attractive addition to edible landscapes and ornamental garden beds.

Enjoy Your Harvest

Fresh-picked asparagus is a delicious seasonal vegetable. Purple Passion can be enjoyed:

  • Fresh in salads

  • Steamed, grilled, or stir-fried

  • As a cooked vegetable or in sandwiches

  • Canned, frozen, or pickled
