How to Grow and Care:
Argenteuil Purple asparagus thrives in full sun and benefits from well-prepared soil and consistent care during establishment. Like all asparagus grown from seed, plants require patience and are typically allowed to grow for several years before regular harvesting begins. Once mature, harvest spears in early spring, then allow remaining growth to develop into ferns to support future production. Established plants can remain productive for many seasons.

Harvest & Use:
This versatile variety produces large spears with pink scales that can be enjoyed in multiple ways. For white asparagus, blanch spears by covering them before exposure to sunlight. When grown normally, spears develop their signature green and purple hues. Argenteuil asparagus is well-suited for grilling, roasting, steaming, canning, or slicing raw into salads.
