High yields for years to come
This all-male hybrid is a top producer of tender, tasty spears for the coming season…and for years to come! Millenium is among the best for high yields and it maintains that standard, along with its superior tolerance of cold temperatures. All these attributes and more make it a must-have in many a Canadian garden. Enjoy bumper crops of flavourful asparagus in late spring to early summer. You'll harvest enough to enjoy straight out of the garden, and still be able to put up a bounty of spears for later use, either in the freezer or canned.
