Asparagus is a perennial vegetable, so you just plant them once and enjoy season after season of succulent spears. Expect light cuttings in 2 years and a regular crop thereafter. This heirloom asparagus has wonderfully delicious taste. Long after harvest, the graceful, feathery green foliage is still attractive. Zones 3-8.
