Asparagus Mary Washington -seed - 1 Pkt. (125 seeds)

"Plant this perennial vegetable just once and enjoy the succulent spears for years. Graceful, feathery green foliage remains attractive long after harvest. Mary Washington. Light cuttings in 2 years; regular cuttings thereafter. Start seeds indoors in early spring; transplant seedlings to garden in May. Full or partial sun."

"Roots- The roots are very easy to grow and will emerge within two weeks. The only reason that it's not great is that it takes two years after planting before it can be harvested. If you are growing asparagus by root than I would recommend Burpee's other asparagus, Jersey Knight.

Seeds- The seeds are very easy to grow. I soaked mine in water 24 hours before planting and it helped A LOT! I was very surprised that they sprouted very quickly. Also, these are nice because they are much cheaper than the roots. These are about the only variety that you can use seeds to grow them. The downfall to these is that it takes a long time before they can be harvested."
