These asparagus plants are supplied as potted crowns. They are more reliable than open-ground bare-root crowns, with no losses, being easier to plant and will crop in the second year.
Dual Purpose - Mid Season. A new "super-sweet" variety with distinctive dark purple spears. It tastes sweeter, has less fibre and more antioxidants than green asparagus. Can be grown as a dual-purpose variety for purple spears, or for super-sweet white spears as it takes very well to being mounded up. (Its low fibre content means the white spears don't require peeling before cooking) Priced for: one two-year crown in a 2 litre pot for £7.50 or 3 pots for £20
