An excellent addition to any asparagus planting, violet Pacific produces a bountiful harvest of very mild, sweet-tasting spears that are a delight to eat. The spears are thicker in diameter than green cultivars, & their sugar content is 20% higher too! We supply one year old crowns, grown in East Anglia, which can be picked as soon as the year after planting. Plants crop for well over 10 years, & established beds can be cut from emergence of the first spears until mid-late June. Crops for up to 15 years.
