Mary Washington Asparagus: A Legacy in Your Furrows

If there is one vegetable that defines the patience and reward of the homesteading life, it is the Mary Washington Asparagus. Unlike annual crops that you must replant every spring, asparagus is a perennial gift that keeps on giving. Once established, a well-tended bed of Mary Washington can produce tender, succulent spears for twenty years or more. This variety has been the gold standard for home gardeners since the early 1900s because of its vigorous growth and its ability to resist rust. With 100 seeds in every packet, you have the foundation to start a permanent "Growth Surge" in your garden that will feed your family for a generation.

At The Seed Guy, we believe in planting for the future. The Mary Washington variety produces uniform, thick green spears with tight, attractive tips that are as delicious as they are nutritious. Because these are heirloom, non-GMO seeds, you are participating in a tradition of self-sufficiency that dates back over a century. While it takes a little time for an asparagus bed to reach full production, the "Dirt Therapy" you put in during those first few seasons will be rewarded with a harvest that returns every spring, faithful and strong. It is the ultimate legacy plant for any family looking to build a sustainable and enduring food source.

1. Exceptional Rust Resistance
Developed specifically to withstand common garden diseases, this variety is rugged and built to last in various climates.

2. Long-Term Productivity
This isn't a one-season wonder. A single planting of Mary Washington creates a permanent food source for your homestead.

3. Superior Gourmet Flavor
Fresh-cut asparagus from your own garden has a sweetness and a "snap" that simply cannot be found in a grocery store.

4. High-Yielding Spears
Known for producing heavy crops of uniform, tender spears, this variety is the most popular choice for home and commercial growers alike.
