Argenteuil Purple Asparagus Seeds - Perennial French Asparagus
Argenteuil Purple Asparagus Seeds - Perennial French Asparagus - 1 Packet is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Argenteuil Purple Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis 'Argenteuil') is an award-winning heirloom veggie that produces generous early yields of tender, sweet, purple and green spears with pink-purple tips. This hardy perennial vegetable enjoys full sun and enriches your garden with its fern-like foliage and vibrant spears for decades.
- Hardy and High-Yielding - Argenteuil Purple Asparagus is an early and prolific variety. It matures into a tall, fern-like plant with striking purple tipped spears that will survive for years in the vegetable garden if properly cared for. The crowns (roots) can be divided every few years to create new beds.
- Versatile Crop - Argenteuil Asparagus produces large turions with pink scales. To grow as a white asparagus, cover or blanch the spears before they develop green chlorophyll. When allowed to develop normally, spears will be in shades of green and purple. The delicious vegetables are ideal for canning, grilling, roasting, steaming, or enjoying raw in salads.

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
