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.

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!

Mary Washington Asparagus Dormant 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!!
