Asparagus ‘Erasmus’ is the first ever all-male purple asparagus, producing bumper crops of thick spears with an intense purple colour and superb flavour. Ready to harvest early in the season, the spears are so sweet and tender they can be eaten raw, retaining the stunning purple colour which can turn green on cooking. One of the best purple varieties available.
