15 Seeds Sweet Purple Asparagus - Organic Vegetable - Gourmet - Rare

Asparagus is one of the earliest crops to come to harvest in spring. The edible parts of the asparagus plant are young, tender, green shoots, called spears. Spears are young leaf stalks—eaten leafless—that grow from the plant’s roots in early spring. If not harvested leafless, the spears will become tall ferny-leafed plants.

Asparagus can be grown from seeds or root divisions called “crowns”.
Asparagus spears are commonly not harvested in the first year after planting. It’s ultimate to allow plants to develop a sturdy root system before you begin harvesting spears in the spring of the second or third year after planting.
