## Overview

GURNEY'S Purple Passion Jumbo Asparagus offers 10 premium 3-year-old bare roots that thrive in USDA zones 3-8 and full sun. These predominantly male plants produce 2-3 times the average yield with tender, sweet spears growing up to 9 inches tall. Adaptable to various soils including clay, they provide an early and extended harvest season, perfect for health-conscious, trend-savvy gardeners aiming to elevate their outdoor space.

## Description

While Jersey Knight Hybrid Asparagus is hardy enough to perform well, even in clay soil, and it's still tender, sweet and delicious. These predominantly male plants produce little to no seed, which ensures 2 or 3 times the average yield of Jersey asparagus. The premium-quality spears grow up to 7 to 9 inches tall and up to 3/4 inches thick. While they're ready to harvest early in the season, the spear tips will stay tight for weeks to come. Whether steamed, sauteed or chopped up in bright green spring salads, asparagus is one of the most antioxidant-rich veggies in your garden.

Review: Strong healthy roots gave a quick emergence. - I could find no fungus or rot on these. I counted full strong roots and they were all there along with a couple extra smaller roots. They arrived fast. Watered once, then about 70% emerged in a few days with temperatures in the seventies, and all except one strong root and the couple small extras have emerged after a week and a half. None of them show purple yet.
Review: No Growth After 19 Days Compared to Jersey Knight - I ordered and received two different kinds of asparagus crowns on May 2: Jersey Knight (from another seller) and Purple Passion (from this seller). Comparing the two, the Purple Passion crowns looked much more spindly and dry upon arrival, which honestly worried me. I understand they were advertised as “dormant,” so I still gave them the benefit of the doubt. I soaked both varieties in water and planted them the same day. I live in Zone 7B, and temperatures here have recently been in the 80s–90s. It is now May 21 (19 days after planting), and all of my Jersey Knight crowns have already grown tall and healthy, while the Purple Passion still shows absolutely no visible growth. At this point, I’m concerned because my return window ends June 4. The RED-circled area in the photo is where the Purple Passion crowns were planted while the Jersey Knight from another seller are the growth beside it. I plan to carefully dig up the roots around June 1 to check whether they are still viable, and I’ll update this review afterward. TIMELINE: • April 27 – Ordered • May 2 – Received and planted • May 21 – NO VISIBLE GROWTH YET (CURRENT) • June 1 – Plan to dig and inspect roots • June 4 – Return window ends

Seem to work pretty well! Far less than 100% actually turn into asparagus plants but I think that's normal
