Purple Passion Asparagus Crowns are a highly prized gourmet variety known for their rich purple color, sweet flavor, and tender texture. These 2-year-old bare root crowns establish quickly and begin producing earlier and more reliably than first-year crowns, giving growers a strong head start on their asparagus patch. Purple Passion produces thick, flavorful spears that are excellent for grilling, roasting, steaming, or eating fresh.

Hardy in USDA Zones 3–10, this perennial variety comes back year after year with increasing yields. Once mature, a well-cared-for asparagus bed can remain productive for over a decade, offering a dependable harvest every spring. Purple Passion is perfect for raised beds, garden rows, and homestead plots seeking a premium, sweet-tasting asparagus.
