Asparagus Burgundine Crowns

A hybrid purple and green cross perfect for main season growing. This purple variety can also be eaten raw as it contains lower amounts of lignin, the fibrous part of asparagus. An eye-catching variety that is exceptionally sweet, juicy, crunchy and great for eating with dips and in salads.

Asparagus is much easier to plant and to grow than many people think! Years ago it used to be grown in specially prepared raised beds, but today’s modern hybrid varieties perform really well ‘on the level’ and on most well drained soils. Try to pick a sunny position, removing all perennial weeds and as many stones as possible prior to planting.

Full planting and care instructions are included with every order.
