Description
Asparagus officinalis
Never mind the stock market—invest in your future by planting asparagus!
You know it’s spring when asparagus shoots up from its winter slumber. These delectable perennials need 3 years to get established, but after that they’ll provide decades of spring food! Mature plants will reach 3’ tall and wide when they’re flowering, so plant them into an out-of-the way bed richly amended with compost. Mulch helps keep the weeds down between flushes of spring stalks!
Seeds grown by Quel Ranch in Garden City, Idaho.

Direct seed outside in spring, or start indoors in early spring and transplant outside after 6-8 weeks.
