Asparagus plants originate around the Mediterranean Sea and are thus ideally suited for growing in moderate, Mediterranean climates. These plants are different than normal crops in that they are usually sold as crowns rather than seedlings. These crowns do not produce a harvest until their second year.

Asparagus Plants

Asparagus plants are perennial bushes that can live up to 15 or 20 years, with appropriate care. These plants can grow up to 5 feet in height and have a root system that will go down at least 6 feet. From year to year, these plants are among the earliest crop producers. The perennial nature of these plants often prompts gardeners to plant these bushes separate from other crops in the garden, to prevent disturbance during normal garden tilling and preparation.

Asparagus Crowns

Crowns are the one-year-old roots of asparagus, typically sold in nurseries and garden centers. Although asparagus can be grown from seed, it is difficult, time-consuming and will cost an extra year of growth before harvest is possible. Planting the asparagus as crowns will allow you to collect an abbreviated harvest in the spring of the second year of growth.

Planting Crowns

You can grow your own asparagus by purchasing crowns from a reputable nursery. You'll need to choose an area of your garden where the asparagus can be left to grow for a long time. The soil in that area will need to be amended with composted manure before planting. The best time to plant crowns is in early spring. At the time of planting, you'll want to dig for each crown. These holes should be 6 inches deep, spaced apart 12 to 18 inches. With the holes dug, you'll need to insert the crown into the hole, with the roots spread and the buds pointed upward. The asparagus crowns shouldn't be fully buried at first. You'll start by covering the crowns with 2 inches of soil. Then, as the asparagus grows, you'll slowly cover the crowns with more and more earth, until they are buried evenly with the rest of the soil. Crowns must be watered regularly and deeply, once per week, until established.

Asparagus Plant Growing Tips

Extensive roots allow these plants to seek moisture deep within the soil, and once established in its location, asparagus will require watering only occasionally. In dry climates, asparagus will need watering somewhat regularly, approximately once every two weeks. In climates where rainfall is common or at least dependable, asparagus requires very little supplemental watering. It's best to weed your asparagus bed regularly, avoiding all use of herbicide. You can aid the growth and productivity of your asparagus plants with a 10-10-10 fertilizer applied every year in the spring before the appearance of spears.
