For you connoisseurs, enjoy delicious fresh vegetables from your own garden with Purple Passion Asparagus.

In April and May, a heavy yield of attractive smoky purple spears is produced. They can be harvested for about eight weeks. Another top quality: Its purple spears are not stringy like typical asparagus and the whole spear can be cooked without wasting the end.
