Growing Information

Asparagus grows best in an area where it can remain undisturbed for many years. Choose a permanent planting location such as a garden bed, large field, north edge of a vegetable garden, or 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.

For a family garden, the seller recommends planting at least 10 crowns for each family member who enjoys asparagus.

Enjoy Your Harvest

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

• Fresh in salads

• Steamed, grilled, or stir-fried

• Served as a cooked vegetable or in sandwiches

Asparagus is also a beautiful perennial plant with soft-textured foliage that can complement ornamental plants in an edible landscape.
