ASPARAGUS DAYS ARE HERE!

This FREE EVENT is happening Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 4/4-4/6. Come on over to the nursery and hear a free presentation about how to plant and grow asparagus at 11:00 AM & 2:00 PM each day. This year, we have four varieties of asparagus available—Purple Passion, Jersey Knight, Mary Washington and Atlas.

ASPARAGUS VARIETIES

Purple Passion: Tender spears are a beautiful deep burgundy color. More tender, mild and sweet than standard varieties. Vigorous and productive, spears are produced a year earlier than most varieties.

Jersey Knight: This vigorously growing strain of asparagus is noted for its production of a high percentage of large, tender spears. This heavy producer is excellent for cooking and canning. Suitable for freezing.

Mary Washington: A strong grower with large spears produced in spring. A favorite of gardeners that are looking for excellent taste. Good for cooking and canning.

Atlas: Known for its high yields of medium to large, green spears with a slight purple tint at the tips and butts.
