Mountain Asparagus Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Mountain Asparagus is a hardy perennial vegetable plant grown for its tender edible spears. The plant develops feathery fern-like foliage after harvest and produces long-lived crowns that return year after year. It is well suited for cool and temperate climates, edible gardens, and perennial vegetable beds. Mountain Asparagus performs best in well-drained, fertile soil and full sun, producing high-quality spears in early spring.
