Planting & Care

Plant bare root crowns in early spring after the danger of frost has passed. Dig a trench about 6-8 inches deep and set crowns at the bottom, spacing them 12-18 inches apart. Cover with 2-3 inches of soil and gradually fill the trench as shoots grow. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish strong roots. Avoid harvesting spears the first year to allow plants to develop.

In subsequent years, fertilize in early spring and keep the bed weed-free. Cut back dead foliage in late fall or early winter. With proper care, your Green Atlas Asparagus will provide a bountiful harvest for many years.
