Millennium Hybrid Male Asparagus Crowns...Larger crowns let you cut sooner!
Millennium Asparagus is a non GMO hybrid Male, produced from 1st
Generation seed produced in screened fields to avoid contamination from
pollen from adjoining asparagus fields. Not all varieties that claim to
be male can say this...resulting in them having a lower % of male
plants. Male plants put all of the energy into growing roots....bigger
roots = more larger spears to cut.
Millennium is known for its high quality spear that remain tight at a
greater spear height, even in hotter harvest seasons. Spears are tender,
have outstanding flavor and excellent freezing quality. Performs well
in a variety of soil conditions including heavier soils. Developed in
Canada, Millennium has excellent cold hardiness and a very long
longevity. Disease resistance, including rust resistance is excellent. A
culinary favorite!
Crowns are ready for pickup at our nursery now, or delivery to your home
