Purple Pacific 10 Live Asparagus Bare Root Plants -2yr-Crowns from Hand Picked Nursery

These were healthy crowns that grew just as advertised.

Excellent crowns! All germinated and are yielding very well!

Of the 10 plants I ordered, only 6 have grown. The 6 that did grow seem to be doing great so far. When I got the roots, some had mold on them. I reached out to the company and they said it was harmless. I planted them anyway according to planting instructions and 4 never came up. The company did not address, replace or respond regarding the 4 that did not grow (which I know some of those were the ones with mold).

Received my crowns with mold on the roots, I will update later. *Update* 4/25 10 days after receiving my crowns. I was a bit skeptical and irritated because my crowns arrived 10 days ago moldy I was under the impression they would probably not make it I decided to turn my project into a total experiment. I wrote them off completely and decided to soak them for a few hours completely forgetting and a few hours turned into two full days fully submerged I was more than convinced at this point they were a goner.... At this point I no loner cared and decided to plant them crowding each other in a large container for this experiment and as of yesterday 4 of the 10 crowns have pushed up asparagus. IM COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY AND WILL BUY more when design my actual garden bed. I will change the stars to 5 if all 10 push asparagus. Update 5/29 pretty sure they all sprouted so I will give 5/5. Pleased with my experiment.

Disappointed in the growth rate so far after 5.5 weeks in early spring conditions. 1 out of 10 crowns has sent up shoots. In comparison, 5 green asparagus crowns from a different seller planted on the same day and with all of the same conditions have all sent up multiple shoots. Seller sent back generic responses to inquires rather than helping or answering questions about timing. Will update review if the crowns come to life.

I purchased these 2 years ago and couldn’t be happier. I followed the seller’s instructions, including hosing off a bit of mold when they arrived. The stocks were a little scrawny the first year, but sweet and delicious. This is our second year and the yield is fantastic. Some of the plants didn’t make it, but the stocks are thick and sweet, and we get fresh ones every day. I would order more if we had more room to plant.

Couldn't be happier, planted two weeks ago and they are all thriving. Shipping was fast and well packaged.

I ordered this asparagus years ago and it grows back very nicely each year and is very tasty.
