Asparagus officinalis is a member of the Asparagaceae family. Native to the Mediterranean and enjoyed by the Greeks, Asparagus eventually grew in popularity and is now grown all over the world. The delicious flavor is slightly sweet as well as bitter and the texture is crunchy and satisfying! Perfect for sautéing, roasting, steaming, and pickling; Asparagus adds nutrition and variety to your diet. This Mary Washington heirloom variety is hardy, delicious, and requires three years to mature. We recommend allowing your Asparagus to develop strong healthy roots in its first year and only harvesting sparingly in the second year. Once established your Asparagus will continue to produce each year with little maintenance! Give this lovely perennial a try and enjoy Martha Washington Asparagus for many years to come.
