Millennium - Organic Asparagus Crowns for Enhanced Garden Growth

Outstanding all-around performer.

This cold-tolerant asparagus variety retains its tight tips during growth. Millennium is highly adaptable to diverse soil conditions, including heavier soils, enabling growers to make use of previously unfit land for asparagus cultivation. It surpasses Jersey Supreme in yield and does so over an extended season, exhibiting more vigorous ferns and better survival rates. It also shares the same spear size and spring emergence while offering a greater percentage of male plants; these male counterparts yield more spears compared to females that produce seeds, which can lead to overcrowding, smaller spears, weed challenges, as well as increased risks from asparagus beetles and diseases. This is a perennial variety featuring robust one-year-old crowns (1 crown equals 1 unit). Conventional seed options are also available.

Disease Resistance:

• Common Rust (Intermediate)
