25 Mary Washington Asparagus Live Plant Plugs – Heirloom Asparagus Seedlings | Perennial Vegetable Starter Plants | Edible Garden Plants | PRE-ORDER

Start a productive perennial vegetable patch with this 25-pack of Mary Washington Asparagus live plant plugs. Unlike listings for dormant crowns alone, these are young, actively growing asparagus starter plants ready to establish in your garden.

Mary Washington is a classic heirloom asparagus variety valued by home gardeners for its green spears and long-lived perennial growth. Once properly established, an asparagus bed can remain productive for many years, making it an excellent addition to edible landscapes, raised beds, homesteads, and backyard vegetable gardens.

Asparagus develops a substantial perennial root system and gradually establishes a larger planting over time. Young plants should be allowed to establish before heavy harvesting so they can build strong crowns for future seasons.

You will receive:
✔️ 25 Mary Washington Asparagus live plant plugs
✔️ Heirloom green asparagus variety
✔️ Young starter plants, not simply dormant crowns
✔️ Plugs prepared to help maintain moisture during shipping
✔️ Perennial edible garden plants
✔️ Planting instructions included

💡 Care Tip: Choose your asparagus bed carefully because established plants can remain in the same location for many years. Space young plants approximately 8–12 inches apart in fertile, well-draining soil and keep them consistently watered during establishment. Allow the fern-like foliage to grow after the harvest season so it can replenish the underground crown for future growth.
