{"product_id":"asparagus-phantom-purple","title":"Asparagus Phantom Purple","description":"\u003cp\u003eSweeter than it's green cousin, Asparagus Phantom Purple is full of Anthocyanins, elevating the delicious spears to 'super food' status. Asparagus can be eaten raw, or only lightly cooked to keep the unusual purple colouring; cooking for long periods will turn the spears green.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvest Asparagus spears from October to November and after November let spears grow out into proper ferns to allow the plants to regenerate and build strength for the following year. To allow plants time to create a good strong root system, plants must be in at least 18 months before the first very light harvest- only pick a few of the very fattest spears, leaving the rest to grow on. Asparagus prefers a full sun position, but will grow well in a lightly shaded spot. Ensure crowns are planted into a well prepared, well fertilised bed for optimum growth in the first few years. Regular topdressing in Winter will keep plants productive for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Express Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53828582179000,"sku":"PKASPPPU","price":10.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/asparagus-pkaspppu-phantom-purple.jpg?v=1785381013","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/asparagus-phantom-purple","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
