Asparagus 'Erasmus' F1

Product number: 013340
Origin: Europe
Latin: Asparagus officinalis

Here it is, the first 100% male purple asparagus. This greatly benefits the yield! Cultivation is possible throughout Europe, in both colder and very warm (subtropical) climates. The thick, intensely purple stems have a unique aroma! After the annual harvest, vigorous upright growth follows. Large growers plough an extra ridge against the plants, while a hobby grower can also pull a climbing net lying along poles upwards.
Tip: for the cultivation of blanched (white) asparagus, asparagus foil is very useful! See 845005

Perennial crop, grows best on light soil, well-worked clay is also suitable. Harvesting can begin in the 4th year after sowing.
