Planting Tips:
Mary Washington asparagus is a hardy perennial vegetable that grows best in fertile, well-drained soil. Start seeds indoors early or sow directly in the garden once soil can be worked. Asparagus requires patience, as plants typically need two to three years to become fully established before harvesting. Once mature, plants can produce tender spears each spring for many years.
