Park Seed Asparagus Plant Seeds, Mary Washington, Pack of 20 Seeds
- An heirloom variety, Mary Washington Asparagus is a stem vegetable. An early, high-yielding cultivar, the plant produces long, straight, dark green shoots with tight tips and a delicate, fresh flavor. Harvest shoots in early spring while very young, about 5 to 7 inches long.
- Asparagus spears can be boiled, braised, roasted, steamed, stir fried, or grilled. Asparagus is considered a superfood for its nutrient rich content, having a high (top 20) Aggregate Nutrient Density Index score (ANDI), or micronutrient-per-calorie density. It is a good source of vitamins B6, C, and K, fiber, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin. It also contains a range of phytonutrients.
- Mary Washington, a long-lived, herbaceous perennial, is a member of the asparagus family (Asparagaceae). The plant self-propagates by rhizomatous roots. Dioecious, asparagus requires cross-pollination of 2 separate plants, a male and female, for fruit production. Once established, the plant can produce for decades, but it should not be harvested until the second year or third year.
- A cool-season vegetable, one of the first to be planted in the garden, asparagus seed can be direct sown into the garden in early spring, 2 to 4 weeks before the last frost date.
- Days to Maturity: 60
