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.

So far so good!

Nice sized crowns and healthy on delivery. One plant (out of 8 I purchased) started growing much later and didn’t do as well, but I’m optimistic it’ll pop up next year to grow again. Can’t wait until these get strong enough to eat!

Loving this

I order the Millennium Asparagus Dormant Crown I planted it right away and I am so excited it has taken off and is so beautiful I can't wait for next year when we can start enjoying it

Amazing large crowns sprouted quickly after planting! Fast shipping too!

I was amazed by the huge robust crowns I received, thank you so much Migardener! The 'Millennial Asparagus' I'm reviewing in this review are the ones planted in the wooden raised bed {it's exactly Like Luke's raised beds, we had followed his raised bed building video on his Youtube channel and built six in 2020!} Fast shipping, I planted the Millennial Asparagus around April 15th which was about a week after placing the order, the photo's were taken on May 7th. It didn't take long at all for the asparagus to sprout after planting it. I do realize Luke has advised against planting Asparagus in a raised bed due to its aggressive growing habits, I learned this during a recent video {2024}, but I had no choice but to do so due to a lack of space in my smallish yard. {{note: the other asparagus along the fence is 'Martha Washington which' I had started myself from seed indoors around February 2022.}} We will have no shortage of Asparagus to eat, that's for sure!

Looking good!

Received rapidly. I promptly planted per instructions and after one week I can see many spears coming up!

So excited to try growing asparagus
