هليون 'فات باستارد'

The rust resistance is a real selling point—these plants stayed healthy while other varieties in my garden struggled. After three years from seed, the spears are indeed much fatter, just as advertised.

Started harvesting these this year and the spears really are noticeably thicker than the standard asparagus I've grown before. The rust resistance has kept the ferns looking healthy all season, which is a huge plus for me.

Planted these three springs ago and the first harvest of thick spears blew me away — way fatter than regular grocery store asparagus. The rust resistance is real. Totally worth the wait.
