 Asparagus officinalis ‘Eclipse’

Eclipse is a green asparagus hybrid that was developed by the world-leading asparagus breeding program at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. This male dominant cultivar is an improvement on Millennium with increased spear diameter and improved precocity (reaching maturity earlier), which means better yields and faster returns. It has great potential to be used for white spear production as well. While it was initially developed for the commercial industry, the improvements in yield and foliar disease tolerance make it a great choice for small scale and home producers.
