Mary Washington has anchored American asparagus beds since 1919—thick, tender spears with classic flavor and excellent disease resistance. Asparagus is a long-term crop; start from seed or crowns, weed well the first year, and harvest lightly in year two. Loaded with folate and vitamin K, it’s a spring tonic vegetable. Let ferns grow tall to feed crowns, and you’ll cut spears for a decade or more.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 10-14 weeks before last spring frost date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-75 degrees. Seeds may take 6-8 weeks to germinate. Set transplants into trenches 5-8" deep in early spring after the danger of frost has passed. When starting from seed, 2-3 years may be required before asparagus can be harvested. Plants harvested too heavily to early can become weak and spindly.
