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.
These crowns did good, all are growing
We had baby asparagus stalks within a week.
They’re coming up beautifully. I am so excited to harvest some next season.
Great perennial crop.
Absolutely in love with the color and the easy they have been to take care of them.
Totally recommend MIgardener for dormant roots and seeds.
I'm still kind of a beginner gardener.
The healthiest looking crowns I’ve ever purchased from a company! I’ve bought from a couple different places before (local and online) and some have been questionable if they would grow or not. This was my first dormant plant purchase from this company and there’s no questions with the crowns I received from MIgardener, they were massive and already trying to “wake up”. You’ve got yourself a returning customer for years to come.
