Spartacus Asparagus Seeds

'Spartacus' is a vigorous, 100% male hybrid producing 8–10" spears. Patience is a virtue as harvest begins in the third year, but plants can thrive for up to 12 years. Male sterile plants don’t produce berries, so all the plant’s energy goes into crown and root development, resulting in higher yields, stronger plants, and cleaner plots with no volunteer seedlings. Perennial in USDA zones 3–10. Seeds may have an inert organic coating to improve visibility for planting.
