Seed Needs never knowingly purchases treated seeds products. We also do not treat any of our seed products with substances such as neonicotinoid or thyram.

Always fresh and intended for the current and following growing seasons. Seeds are packaged in water resistant / tear resistant packaging.

Heirlooms are varieties that have been purposely bred, selected and passed down from generation to generation. They are wholesome picks that will breed true to the parent seed every time.

Seed Needs promises to never knowingly purchase or supply genetically modified seed products. We take the Safe Seed Pledge!

If you love Asparagus and have the patience to grow it, then try establishing it yourself, from freshly harvested Asparagus officinalis seeds. These vegetables can take up to 2 years to successfully grow, but the wait is well worth it, since this vegetable is one of the most rewarding. Mary Washington is an heirloom variety that produces green spears, with dark green tips. The plants grow to a mature height of roughly 3 to 7 feet tall, and can take up a bit of gardening space, so growing them in a designated area is recommended. Once established, you will begin to harvest deliciously fresh Asparagus spears, year after year for about 15 years or more.

As explained above, Mary Washington will produce year after year and is categorized as a perennial vegetable. The plants will establish a deep root system in their initial year of growth, later wilting on the surface with the harsh temperatures of the Winter season. The plants will then regrow, displaying green foliage the following Spring and will produce light yields of crop within the second season. By the third season, you will be enjoying heavier yields of these delicious vegetables.

germination and growth

Sowing The Seed

Start by soaking your Asparagus seeds in warm water for 12 hours prior to sowing. The seeds can also be prepped through a method of scarification as well. Sow your seeds indoors, in peat pots, 8 to 10 weeks prior to the last frost, or direct sow outdoors, when the weather has become warm. The seeds will need to be sown at approximately 1/2” deep. Transplant when all danger of frost passes.

Growing Conditions

Asparagus plants will thrive in the warm months of Summer and are best established in an area of full sunlight. They require a sterile soil, with no history of disease. You will also want to make sure that your sowing medium is well drained as well. To improve drainage, we recommend adding a light compost to any area that contains hard, compact soil. Water the seeds daily until germination has successfully occurred.

Germination & Growth

Asparagus seeds can be slow to germinate, typically taking up to 8 weeks. The plants will grow to a mature height of roughly 3 to 7 feet tall and can be spaced about 2 to 3 feet apart, in rows that are spaced about 3 to 4 feet apart. Harvest the spears by cutting near the crown. NEVER pull the Asparagus, as this can cause damage.

High Germination Rate, Great Seeds!

High Germination Rate, Great Seeds!
As a disclaimer like I mentioned in the video, I’m no expert farmer and I’m sure I made a lot of mistakes with the way I planted these asparagus seeds, but I just wanted to give a review based on my limited experience. There weren’t nearly as many seeds in these packets as other types of veggies we ordered at the same time, but these seeds seem to have germinated well and the beautiful little sprouts are coming up. I planted directly into our planter bed that gets about 6 hours of daily sunshine. Overall despite my lack of knowledge, I’m happy with this purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great asparagus seeds
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2022
I love asparagus and I recently learned more about their impressive, unique health benefits. I have 4 hydroponic systems and decided to dedicate one of them to grow asparagus seeds. After only 10 days I saw this baby asparagus for the first time and took a picture. I take a look at them several times a day. I am thrilled.
