Details

As asparagus is a perennial vegetable, you just plant them once to enjoy season after season of succulent spears. Mary Washington is a very strong growing and productive strain producing long, thick spears. Spears are sweet, tender and succulent. Excellent fresh and suitable for freezing. In 2 years, you’ll have light cuttings, with regular cuttings thereafter. The graceful, feathery green foliage remains attractive long after harvest.
