Growing Information
Growing Mary Washington Heirloom Asparagus
‘Mary Washington’ Heirloom Asparagus is an heirloom variety known for dependable yields, tender spears, and excellent flavor. Plants produce long, emerald-green spears with tight tips and offer good rust tolerance.
Start ‘Mary Washington’ from seed in spring. Plants can provide a light harvest the following spring, with fuller, more regular harvests beginning about three years after sowing. Allowing young plants time to establish helps build strong crowns for future production.
Harvest spears while they are young and tender, before the tips begin to loosen. Once established, ‘Mary Washington’ provides a dependable supply of flavorful asparagus for fresh eating, roasting, grilling, and other garden-to-table dishes.
