One of the newest favorites of the asparagus world, the millennium asparagus is a productive variety with its high-quality spears and tender and good flavor. This cold-hardy asparagus grows very well in various soil types. Bred by Dr. Dave Wolyn at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, this variety is cold-hardy from zones 3-8 with rust resistance. The higher proportion of male plants is a favorite quality of the millennium asparagus. Male plants produce more spears, unlike females, who drop seeds often, which allows more weeds, beetle, and disease problems.
Harvest Time: Late May-Early June
Best in zones: 3-8
Age of Plant: 2 Year
Shipped as: Bare Root
Wondering how much to grow? Established asparagus plants produce about 1/2lb. of spears per bed foot in spring/early summer. If you are getting asparagus established for the first time, we recommend 5-10 crowns per person. (covers 15-30 row feet)
As soon as you get these plants, they must be planted. fertilize with a well-balanced fertilizer and water well. Bury the entire crown so that the tip of the crown is around 2 inches below the soil level. This will protect the crown from any cold weather. Do not harvest the first year. Let plants become established before harvesting.
Watch the video below on how to plant your asparagus crowns.
Love these asparagus crowns. Everyone grew and is thriving. I had bought some from another source to see which grew best and, as I suspected, Migardener wins again!
I would buy anything from migardner for sure. The quality is above anyother!!!
These dominant plans arrived packed very carefully and well labeled. I love that an instruction sheet was included to tell me how to plant and care for each type of plant.
All 8 roots have successfully sent up shoots. Looking forward to years of asparagus!
They are quite large roots and they are already sprouting up here in Michigan.
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
