UC 72 Asparagus (Mary's Grandaughter) seeds

UC 72 asparagus, also known as Mary's Granddaughter, is a superior variety of the classic Mary Washington asparagus, developed at the University of California, Davis. This exceptional variety is renowned for its high yields of thick, dark green spears with tightly compact heads.  UC 72 asparagus boasts an impressive tolerance to Fusarium wilt and rust, making it a reliable choice for both home gardeners and market growers. It's also more heat and drought tolerant compared to other asparagus varieties, ensuring successful harvests even in challenging conditions.
 
This perennial vegetable is a fantastic addition to any garden, offering delicious and nutritious spears for many years to come. While it may take 2-3 years to reach full production, UC 72 asparagus can continue to bear for 15-20 years. Plant the crowns in a sunny location with well-drained soil, and enjoy the fruits (or rather, spears!) of your labor for years to come. With its exceptional flavor, disease resistance, and resilience, UC 72 asparagus is a true garden champion.
