Description:
Asparagus officinalis 'Purple Passion' is a perennial vegetable known for its unique purple spears that are tender and not stringy. It is cold and heat-tolerant, thriving in USDA zones 3-10, and is resistant to disease, rust, and rot. This asparagus variety requires full sun and well-drained soil and is low maintenance. If not harvested, it produces airy green foliage and non-edible berries in fall. It is often grown alongside companion plants like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant.
