Planting and Garden Uses

Asparagus is a perennial vegetable that should be planted in a permanent location where it can remain undisturbed for years. Consider a large garden bed, field, north edge of your vegetable garden, or edible landscape.

Its soft-textured foliage also makes it suitable for planting alongside ornamental plants.

The seller recommends planting at least 10 crowns for each family member who enjoys asparagus.

Purple Passion is recommended for areas where temperatures freeze, in USDA Zones 3–9. It is not recommended for the wet, mild regions of Florida and the Gulf Coast.
