Precoce d’Argenteuil Asparagus


Some other heirloom varieties: Mary Washington asparagus.
This is an ancient French heirloom variety that grows large spears. They have a fantastic taste and are very tender. The plants are hardy and can survive for many years, but tend to only start producing worthwhile crops by their second or third year. They have a base color of green, with purple colored scales, but can also occur as a more solidly purple color.
