Product Description

The Asparagus d’Argenteuil is a traditional French heirloom known for its thick, tender stalks with a pale pink hue at the base and green tips. These succulent spears grow to a medium-large size, reaching up to 25 cm long, and are celebrated for their rich, delicate flavor. The d’Argenteuil variety is highly productive, with sturdy stalks that emerge vigorously in early spring. When allowed to mature, the fern-like foliage provides a beautiful, airy display in the garden, adding ornamental value along with its culinary appeal.
