The nutty, buttery flavour is incomparable, no matter whether you steam, roast or grill it. It’s also very nutritious and contains many essential vitamins and minerals. The tender spears are uniform and grow in abundance, maturing into fern-like fronds by fall. Mary Washington is a rust-resistant variety, so it’s easy to maintain. Cold-hardy and heat-tolerant. Harvest either in April or May. Self-pollinating. Each package contains 10 bare-root asparagus crowns.

GROWING SEASONAL BULBS IS GARDENING MAGIC!

Growing seasonal bulbs in the garden or inside the home brings joy and beauty to your life! Plant spring blooming bulbs like tulips and daffodils in the fall before the first frost. They will be the first blooms to flower in your garden in the spring time! Or, try ‘forcing’ paperwhites, amaryllis, and hyacinth bulbs to grow indoors during winter. These bulbs provide fragrance and a way to enjoy a connection with nature during the depths of a cold winter.

Use bone meal in the planting hole when planting bulbs outdoors. Bone meal is an organic, slow release fertilizer that promotes good growth and healthy plants. Mix the bone meal into the soil below where the bulbs will be planted so it can be used by the newly emerging roots.

At Shelmerdine Garden Center, we’re passionate about seasonal bulbs and excited to share our seasonal selection with you. Explore our ever-changing, wide variety of bulbs year round.
