Product Description
Traditionally raised for white asparagus, Argenteuil produces a beautiful green stalk with pink scales if left unblanched. To achieve the smooth, light shade it’s prized for, cover your bed with a soil mound and stake off shoots underground at the mound’s base once they emerge.
- 75 seeds minimum
- Germination: 14-21 days
- Start indoors 60-90 days before last frost. Soak seeds for 24 hours and plant ½” deep in seed starting mix.
- Harden off and transplant into well composted trenches when frost danger has passed. Gradually fill trenches as asparagus matures.

Excellent asparagus starts!
I started 3/4 of a package of these seeds last February. Around May I transplanted my seedlings into the garden. They grew all summer. Looking forward to inspecting the new asparagus growth once the snow melts. I started the remainder of the package two weeks ago. Here's to many years of future asparagus harvests to come!

What an amazing germination rate!
I planted the seeds in January this year... and thinking they will not germinate I planted 24 of them (plus 24 of the Mary Washington variety)... well I got my wish! All of them germinated them and now I am in a pool of very healthy asparagus plants... lol... nice problem to have :) At the rate and speed they are growing (I am in zone 10B) I had to re-pot them 3 times (Now in 5 gallon buckets), and they are ready to be planted in soil sooner than anticipated... Don't even think of buying 1 or 2 year crowns, that will produce in 1 to 2 years... I will be able to harvest these babies next year! They are already pencil thin and they are only 9 months old! I can't say anything but THANK YOU! what a great buy!
