Erasmus Asparagus

First-ever 100% male purple variety

  • Best purple yet!
  • World's first 100% male variety
  • Nice tight tips hold up when cooked
  • Improved, sweet flavor and tender texture
  • Super-productive—high yields
We're excited to introduce you to this impressive newcomer. Unlike other purple varieties, it's 100% male, leading to extra-bountiful yields—best harvests ever! You'll also love the intense, beautiful color and savor the sweeter flavor. Thanks to a more-tender texture, you may serve it fresh in salads or appetizers; otherwise, it's delicious lightly steamed or stir-fried.

Full sun. Mid-early harvest. Zones 3-10.
