ASPARAGUS ‘VIKING KB3‘ HYBRID 2YR - AS121 (96 P.VAR.)

Asparagus is extremely nutritious and has many health benefits! ‘KB3’ is disease resistant and a heavy yielder of tender, flavorful spears. This is an open pollinated variety. Hardy in sub-zero and hot desert areas. Lower winterkill. Fusarium and rust tolerant. This is a popular variety grown by home gardeners and for commercial planting. Grows well throughout the Midwest.

Asparagus gets top dollar at the supermarket, but commercially grown spears never measure up to the delicately sweet flavor of homegrown. Asparagus is a hardy perennial. Asparagus is a highly productive vegetable. Grown for the stems or spears, a well-tended planting yields 8 to 10 pounds or more per 100 square feet of bed or 24 to 30 pounds per 100 feet of row. For most home gardeners, one row is adequate. An asparagus planting lasts 15 to 25 years without replanting if it is well cared for and the climate is suitable. It does not do well if summers are extremely hot and long and winters are mild.
