Unit price perAsparagus officinalis
A renowned French heirloom asparagus producing thick, rose purple stems with distinctive purple tipped spears. Celebrated for its excellent flavour, this variety is an early producer in spring and has long been prized in French cuisine. In France, spears are traditionally blanched under soil or covers to produce the pale, tender white asparagus often referred to as white gold. Plants are vigorous and long lived once established, making this a rewarding variety for permanent asparagus beds.
Approximately 50 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to June
Subtropics: May to July
Mild climates: July to September

Planting / Sowing
Sow seed 1 to 2 cm deep into well drained, fertile soil in full sun. Keep soil evenly moist during germination, which may take several weeks.

Well prepared soil and patience will reward growers with high quality spears for many seasons.
