## Description

desertcart.com : Mary Washington 25 Live Asparagus Bare Root Plants -2yr-Crowns from Hand Picked Nursery : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Review: Nice product. Lots of life! Good quality. Straight from the nursery! - Just received my asparagus roots today. I was a bit apprehensive at buying something like this from desertcart. I was concerned about the roots becoming dried out from the warehouse storage. In this case, it looks like it WAS from a nursery! The packaging was good. And, the roots looked good. Some of them already had sprouts! They look healthy. Not dead. In fact, they are large, so the 2nd yr old seems perfect. I should be getting some sprouts in a month. There was also instructions included along with a bag of “secret sauce” to be mixed in the water that the roots will temporarily be placed. So far, so good……….I loved everything about this purchase. I’ll report back ( now Aor 7, 2024) with the results of how they did afterwards….. sprouting, I am speaking of.
Review: 100% would buy again. Every single crown lived despite my worst efforts - I purchased 25 crowns, back in late April 2024. It was already a little late in the season to plant them in my area (central NC) but figured I’d give it a shot anyway. Well shortly after I ordered them I found out I had to leave town for work so when they arrived I was out of town. We also got a (surprisingly hot for late april) heat wave when they were delivered. The box of crowns sat out in direct sunlight for two 85 degree days before my buddy could go by and move them to my fridge. They stayed in my fridge for 2 weeks until I got back home. By that point it was mid May, which is way too late to plant them in my area, and I figured they were probably dead anyway after baking in the sun for 2 days then sitting in my fridge for a few weeks, but I figured I’d already prepped the bed so I might as well give it a shot and see. Well to my surprise every single one of the 28 crowns I received (24 big ol fatty crowns and 4 small ones that were kind of dinky) sprouted. I was shocked: I did everything wrong but somehow they actually lived. It’s now Late July and all 28 crowns are still growing vigorously, even the 4 small ones. I have drip tape irrigation which is set to run 2x/week which seems right (we have clay soil so I’m trying not to drown them). I took the photos tonight, July 21, 2024, which is about 2-1/2 months after I planted the root crowns. I really can’t wait until next summer when I can start eating some of these guys. TL;DR: I ordered 25 crowns and received 28. Then did a terrible job planting them and I did pretty much everything wrong that could be done wrong yet somehow all 28 crowns are growing and doing great. Couldn’t be happier!

## Features

- You will see growth within 10 days. The most importan part of planting these plants is to make sure you have at least 30% sand mixed into the soil. I also include a link for detailed instructions or just call.
- Asparagus plants need three things: 1. Any soil but at least 30% sand needs to be added and mixed well. The sand is the most important part and without it they will die: the soil needs to be well draining and 30 percent sand needs to be mixed thoroughly and plant on a mound six inches apart. I will send a picture 2. The plant can soak in water for an hour and then plant. 3.Plant the asparagus plants 10" to 12" down the further north the deeper and 12" apart and just bury them
- The sand is important and a minimuim of 30% for drainage and winterization of the plant and with out them they can rot and not come back the next year.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are they shipping with china post??? i thought i was buying from a farmer in washington!**
A: Same thing happened to me! I’d NEVER have purchased ANYTHING from CHINA! I thought I was purchasing from a US Veteran. Sickening!!

**Q: Do you harvest the first year or let it go to seed**
A: You should not harvest the first year and maybe even the second depending on how well the stalks look. Do not cut skinny stalks even in the second year. Letting them go to seed will give you a beautiful bed for many years.

**Q: I live in the nc piedmont, is it too late to plant crowns now (10/04/19)? the raised beds are ready to plant.**
A: Not sure,but  I would think because they are buried at least 12" plus some mulch on a raised bed they should be fine.I live in Vermont and planted last spring crowns were  up in a week!(in raised bed).

**Q: Can these be grown in a raised garden bed?**
A: i am growing mine in raised bed. their roots are quite extensive . you may have overflow in a couple of years

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 12 roots were nice and big the other14 were not
*by D***. on May 9, 2025*

All arrived alive. I received 26 roots. Sizes were inconsistent. 12 were very hardy with big roots. The rest varied from medium to small roots some might even seem like 1 year old crowns cause of their size. In any case I’m mostly satisfied because i have ordered from different vendors and have gotten varyimg sizes. But it would be nice for the roots to be more consistent. Do listen to people’s advice on adding sand otherwise they will die cause of bad drainage. And plant 12 in appart. Roots will get huge whithin a year or two.
