Care Instructions

Plant crowns in a trench 6–8 inches deep, spacing them 12–18 inches apart with the roots spread out. Cover lightly with soil and gradually fill in the trench as shoots emerge. Water regularly during establishment. Avoid harvesting during the first growing season to allow crowns to develop strong root systems. Once established, harvest each spring for years of fresh asparagus.
