Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) is a perennial vegetable that is celebrated for its tender, flavorful spears. The Mary Washington variety is particularly popular among gardeners for its high yields, disease resistance, and excellent flavor. This variety is known for its long, thick, and succulent spears, making it a favorite choice for both home gardeners and commercial growers.

Asparagus Mary Washington is a hardy, low-maintenance crop that, once established, can produce spears annually for 15-20 years. Although it requires some patience to cultivate—typically 2-3 years before it reaches full harvest capacity—the long-term rewards make it well worth the effort.

Why Shido Seeds Are the Best

Avoid harvesting any spears during the first two years after planting. This allows the plants to develop a robust root system and store energy, which leads to larger, healthier harvests in future years. In the third year, harvest spears for only 4-6 weeks to prevent over-stressing the plants. Gradually increase the harvest duration in subsequent years for long-lasting, abundant yields.

Getting to know your Asparagus Mary Washington

Mary Washington asparagus is a popular, heirloom variety known for its tender, flavorful spears. It is a perennial plant that thrives in well-drained, sandy soil and full sun. The plant grows to about 4-5 feet tall when mature and produces slender, green spears with slightly purple tips. Asparagus takes 2-3 years to establish before it can be harvested, but it then produces reliably for 15-20 years. The spears are harvested in early spring and are rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Mary Washington is resistant to rust and fusarium wilt, making it a hardy choice for home gardens. After the harvest season, the plant produces feathery, fern-like foliage that adds ornamental value.
