Asparagus, Purple 'Erasmus'

Product number: 831147.1
Origin: Europe
Latin: Asparagus officinalis

Here it is, the first 100% male purple asparagus. This greatly benefits the yield! Cultivation is possible throughout Europe, both in colder and very warm (subtropical) climates. The thick, intensely purple stems have a particularly good aroma! After the annual harvest, vigorous upright growth follows. Large growers plough an extra ridge against the plants, a hobby grower can also pull a climbing net horizontally along stakes. We supply a heavy quality: A70/+, which are "crowns" of 70g and heavier.

Denominations:
Latin: Asparagus officinalis
Dutch: Asperge
Also known as: Aspergeklauwen
English: Asparagus

The planting distance is 40 cm. Purple asparagus is grown in full light (to preserve its color). Plant 15 cm deep, cutting the growing shoots daily during harvest season. You can harvest from the 2nd year (after planting) (it is fine to harvest a few stalks the following year). After June 24th, harvesting is stopped to allow the plant to rest and grow.
