One of the most widely grown heirloom varieties of Asparagus. This variety produces hardy stems that are more disease resistant, cold-tolerant, and forgiving than other varieties. Plants multiply quickly and produce a fair amount of seeds that will multiply your crop over the years.
Harvest Time: Late May-Early June
Best in zones: 3-9
Maturity size: Large-diameter spears
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.
Mary Washington Asparagus Dormant Crown
My asparagus roots were delivered timely. Once planted I had sprouts within a few weeks. Can’t wait until next year when I can harvest!
Great asparagus crowns
Our asparagus plants were over 40 years old and needed to be replaced. We were so happy to get these! We followed instructions and planted them and can't wait for them to be old enough to harvest. We are always very pleased with everything we get from MIGARDENER-the quality, price, and just a bunch of wonderful super nice people!!
I love that MI Gardener posts content to help you be successful when planting, sowing seeds or transplanting
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.
