Asparagus UC-157 produces tender, sweet purple spears that add vibrant color to salads while maintaining excellent flavor when cooked. This Non-GMO hybrid thrives with tighter spacing of 6 to 8 feet to ensure optimal market-size spears. After a 2 to 3-year establishment from seed, enjoy abundant harvests every spring for 15 to 20 years. Easy to maintain, simply cut back the fern-like stems in fall once frost has browned them, then mulch to protect your plants through winter. UC-157 is prized by gardeners for its consistent productivity and disease resistance, making it an ideal choice for both home and market gardens. The purple coloration indicates high anthocyanin content, offering both aesthetic appeal and nutritional benefits. Plant in well-draining soil with full sun exposure for best results. Once established, your asparagus bed becomes a reliable perennial investment, delivering harvests with minimal intervention year after year. Choose UC-157 for a colorful, long-lasting addition to your garden that rewards patient growers with decades of spring abundance.
