Notes
'Millennium' asparagus (Asparagus officinalis 'Millennium') is a vegetable for borders and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows upright at a moderate pace and tolerates salt. It is a superior all-around performer. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Bogatyr garlic, Zucchini, and Rock soapwort.
