About Mary Washington Asparagus Seeds For
"Mary Washington" The most popular asparagus in the United States, the crisp delicious taste of Mary Washington will make every dish shine. After the 2nd year, plants will produce full stalks. Do not harvest the growths the first year. Green stalks average 8”. Type: Perennial Sun: Full/Partial Planting Depth: 1/2” Spacing: 18” Water: Moderate/High Days to Maturity/Bloom: 2-3 years Height: 36-84” Zones: 4-9 Soak seeds overnight to weaken the hard outer layer, then plant 1/2" deep and 1-2" apart in a temporary nursery bed. Keep the temperature around 75-85 degrees F, and germination should begin in 10-14 days. For direct sowing, plant the seeds after the last frost of spring. For greater garden benefits, plant your asparagus and tomatoes in close proximity; these two greatly benefit each other.
