    Not all Asparagus has to be culinary to merit a place in the garden. This is a hardy CLIMBING Asparagus which brings a texture to trellage unrivaled by other vines. Let's see those lightly charred and coarsely salted plump grilled gourmet spears on your plate compete with that! Ok - point taken.

    The epitome of an airy, lacy vine this asparagus gently climbs to 10-12' each season only to die back to start over again. Luscious buttery yellow fall display.
