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.

Asparagus dormant Crown

I planted the crowns the same day I received them, May 16, 2024 and by May 26, 2024 all four had one shoot up about and inch or so. Extremely impressed. I watched the video MIGardner has for planting them and have had great success.
