One of the very first things we planted at the Columbus Garden School was asparagus. This nutritious, delicious perennial has long been on our list of favorite spring vegetables. At that time, we chose the variety ‘Jersey Knight’ for its yield and disease-resistance (because who wants to spray chemicals on their food?). The ‘Jersey’ hybrids have mostly disappeared from the market in part because of a superior replacement: ‘MILLENNIUM’ asparagus! 
 
Field research indicates that ‘Millennium’ out-produces other varieties and shows great disease-resistance and cold tolerance*.  This variety is also long-lived and adaptable to a range of soils – including our Ohio clay. New ‘Millennium’ crowns will fill in the empty spots in our existing beds at CGS. We recommend new asparagus gardeners start with at least 5 crowns. NOTE: Asparagus must be planted in the ground for best production and longevity. 
 
Fresh asparagus is UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. Did you know you can eat fresh asparagus raw? And just wait until you walk asparagus from the garden to the steamer for an amazing treat. Store-bought is NOT the same -- you deserve great homegrown food! And a happy asparagus bed can produce for 20+ years. 
 
Our PRICE for 1-gallon pot containing 1-2 large 'Millennium' crowns: $12
3-gallon pot containing 5 'Millennium' crowns: $30
