Mary Washington Improved Asparagus

Improved Yields from an Old-Fashioned Favorite

(3 customer reviews)

Produces heavier yields with tighter tips than the original. Emerald spears have the same superior flavor, reliability and extra-long cutting period.

Asparagus commands top dollar at the supermarket, but commercially grown spears never measure up to the delicate sweet flavor of homegrown. Garden asparagus is a bargain, too- plant it just once for annual springtime harvests for 20 years or more!

This is a GREAT asparagus. The roots I received were terrific. #1 shape. Very fast growers. Cannot wait til I can eat some of these. I have another type I have been cutting. I bought those roots at a variety store, but they are not as good as the ones I bought from Gurneys.

I'm a first-time customer of Gurney's. I ordered the Mary Washington Improved starts, jumbo grade. The starts I received were of consistently excellent quality--fresh-appearing, plump, ready to take off! Properly planted and cared for, I expect 100% of them to thrive. Wow! I'll be a repeat Gurney's customer, that's for sure!
