How to Plant Asparagus Crowns Check Temperatures The rule of thumb here is, "If you can dig, you can plant," meaning that if the ground is not fully frozen, you can plant. Just note that your asparagus crowns will remain dormant until the soil temperature reaches 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Proper Soil Amend your soil to ensure it is well-draining. We recommend adding at least 30% sand to your soil. Additionally, incorporating compost can further improve your soil structure. Dig and Space Dig rows of trenches 3 feet apart. Your trenches should be 6–8 inches deep if you have heavier, clay-based soil and 8–10 inches deep for looser soils. Plant and Water Plant your asparagus crowns in the trenches, spacing them 12 inches apart. When planting, simply lay them on their side. Once planted, completely fill in the rows with soil and water. Did you Know Asparagus are Perennials? Asparagus are perennials in USDA hardiness zones 3-8. This means they will come back year after year! When well cared for, it is not uncommon for them to continue producing for 15 years. In some cases, asparagus plants have been known to produce for 30 or more years! Enjoy Homegrown Asparagus! Experience the joy of gardening, health, and sustainability with ease! Review: Beautiful Starts - Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Every single one had little asparagus already trying to come on. Best quality I’ve ever ordered. Will definitely use this store again. Review: Very impressed - Very impressed and I just got them in the mail! I have bought starts from a larger company for 2 years and each time they have failed. When I opened my package these ones looked so much better and already showing signs of life! I just got them in the ground here and am so excited for what’s to come! I will be referring others here in the future. (And if they do fail I will know it’s definitely my black thumb after all since these show so much promise!) ## 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071JS7K8J | | Best Sellers Rank | #31,941 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #397 in Vegetable Plants & Seeds | | Brand | Hand Picked Nursery | | Brand Name | Hand Picked Nursery | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 475 Reviews | | Expected Blooming Period | Winter | | Expected Planting Period | Winter | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Indoor/Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Manufacturer | Hand Picked Nursery | | Material Feature | Heirloom | | Material Features | Heirloom | | Moisture Needs | Moderate Watering | | Number of Pieces | 25 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Heirloom | | Plant or Animal Product Type | Asparagus | | Product Care Instructions | Water | | Soil Type | Sandy Soil | | Special Feature | Heirloom | | Sunlight Exposure | Full Sun | | UPC | 741432507261 | | Unit Count | 25 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hand Picked Nursery - **Expected Blooming Period:** Winter - **Expected Planting Period:** Winter - **Indoor/Outdoor Usage:** Indoor - **Material Feature:** Heirloom - **Product Care Instructions:** Water - **Soil Type:** Sandy Soil - **Special Feature:** Heirloom - **Sunlight Exposure:** Full Sun - **Unit Count:** 25 Count ## Images ![Mary Washington 25 Live Asparagus Bare Root Plants -2yr-Crowns from Hand Picked Nursery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71A2clLi4xL.jpg) ![Mary Washington 25 Live Asparagus Bare Root Plants -2yr-Crowns from Hand Picked Nursery - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gfsgbUqYL.jpg) ![Mary Washington 25 Live Asparagus Bare Root Plants -2yr-Crowns from Hand Picked Nursery - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WSjHaHURL.jpg) ## 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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Starts *by P***N on April 15, 2026* Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

Timely delivery. *by R***T on June 3, 2025* Crowns arrived in a timely fashion. Appeared in good condition. Were planted next day as directed. No signs of growth as of yet. It has been 8 days since planting the crowns. The temps have been cold and gray and rainy since planting. I hope to see growth soon as the temps are starting to get warmer. I look forward to sharing my asparagus endeavor with you as it grows. The weather has warmed the past 2 days and the crowns are now sprouting well. I am very pleased with the growth.
