Description

Mary Washington asparagus is the classic heirloom that defined spring gardens for generations. Known for its straight, uniform spears and refined flavor, this traditional variety produces tender, deep green stalks with slightly purplish tips and a rich, buttery taste when freshly harvested.

Beloved by gardeners since the early 1900s, Mary Washington remains prized for its cold hardiness, longevity, and consistent performance in diverse soils. Once mature, each crown yields abundant spears for many years, making it a true perennial investment in the garden.

With its heritage rooted in early American market gardens, Mary Washington continues to symbolize quality and endurance—offering the same dependable harvests and delicate flavor that made it a standard for home and farm production alike.
