West Coast Seeds (Guelph Millennium Asparagus)

This all male asparagus variety was bred at the University of Guelph. It is much loved for its cold tolerance, its productivity, and the solid green colour of its tasty spears. The foliage is robust and attractive. The purple bracts of Jersey Knight are caused by the presence of anthocyanins, which are only "moderately present" in Guelph Millennium.

This variety is a winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
