Description
Mary Washington asparagus is a beloved heirloom perennial introduced in the early 1900s and long grown for strong green spears, good flavor, and rust resistance for its time. Once established, plants return year after year, making asparagus one of the true long-view crops of the home garden.
Start from seed with patience, then allow crowns to build before taking regular harvests. The reward is spring spears cut fresh from a permanent bed, tender and clean-flavored, arriving just when the garden is waking up.
