Collection: Asparagus Crowns

Shop bare root asparagus crowns for establishing a long-lived perennial vegetable bed. Compare available varieties and review the product page for certification, planting-zone and variety-specific information. Availability varies by season, so order while suitable varieties are available.

Asparagus can be grown using organic and sustainable methods, including compost, organic soil amendments, mulch and appropriately labeled pest-management products. Certification is stated only when supported on the individual product page.

Prepare the Asparagus Bed

Select a sunny, well-drained site where the planting can remain for years. Prepare the soil before planting and follow the crown-spacing and planting-depth guidance supplied with the variety. Consistent weed management and irrigation during establishment help reduce competition around developing crowns.

Establishment and Harvest

Allow new plants time to develop a strong crown and root system before taking a full harvest. Harvest guidance varies by the age and condition of the bed, so use the instructions provided with the crowns and adjust for local growing conditions.
