DeGROOT Platinum Performers Asparagus 'Purple Passion', DGSVASPU

‘Purple Passion’ has productive yields and is highly resistant to rust. This open-pollinated variety tolerates most climates and is generally larger than its green counterpart. These beautiful purple spears are often eaten raw due to having a 20% higher sugar content. ‘Purple Passion’ also adds gorgeous color to salads and other dishes when left raw but turns green when cooked. Asparagus should be planted in the spring in a sunny location. Dig a trench 6" deep. Place the roots in the trench, spreading the roots so they remain flat. Cover with 3" of soil. Once growth begins, fill in with an additional 3" of soil. Water regularly. When harvest is over for the season, apply a balanced fertilizer (Ex: 10-10-10 at 1 lb. for 10 feet of row).
