Argenteuil Purple Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis 'Argenteuil') is an award-winning heirloom veggie that produces generous early yields of tender, sweet, purple and green spears with pink-purple tips. This hardy perennial vegetable enjoys full sun and enriches your garden with its fern-like foliage and vibrant spears for decades.

• Hardy and High-Yielding - Argenteuil Purple Asparagus is an early and prolific variety. It matures into a tall, fern-like plant with striking purple tipped spears that will survive for years in the vegetable garden if properly cared for. The crowns (roots) can be divided every few years to create new beds.
• Versatile Crop - Argenteuil Asparagus produces large turions with pink scales. To grow as a white asparagus, cover or blanch the spears before they develop green chlorophyll. When allowed to develop normally, spears will be in shades of green and purple. The delicious vegetables are ideal for canning, grilling, roasting, steaming, or enjoying raw in salads.
