Seed Savers Exchange co-founders Diane Ott Whealy and Kent Whealy brought the ‘3lb Coffee Can’ asparagus with them when they moved to Decorah, Iowa, in 1984. Diane recounts its ori gin in her memoir, Gathering, “A few years earlier, a gentleman had sent me a three-pound Folgers coffee can full of seed. He said the plants were always grown from seed and rivaled any commercial variety, but they came to me with no name. His claim was true. These plants were eventually transplanted to a patch in front of the barn at Heritage Farm and 20 years later have developed into a magnificent bed. One good thing about growing older: your asparagus patch gets better.” Organic From the Collection 2023 Perennial Prolific plants produce large sweet stalks This variety works for: Boiling Steaming Roasting Grilling Asparagus is prized as an early spring vegetable and can be prepared in dozens of ways Show more
