The UC 72 Asparagus variety was created to be tolerant to drought and Fusarium Wilt. Plants produce large yields after being in the ground for 2-3 years, and will continue to produce for up to 15 more years. Spears are dark green with compact heads, and tend to be larger than Mary Washington Asparagus. This is a great choice for market growers and home gardens alike. This variety is more heat and drought tolerant than many other varieties. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing UC 72 Asparagus Garden Seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLatin Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asparagus officinalis\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e  2-3 Years -- Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1”\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e  18”\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRow Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e  upright\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e  sandy and well drained\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemp Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e  warm\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e  full sun\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResistances:\u003c\/strong\u003e heat and drought\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e  dark green\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e  earthy and smooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Directions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e This variety of asparagus does well when sown directly, but it can be transplanted for areas with a later final frost. The first harvest will be between 2 and 3 years after planting the first seed, with the first harvest being smaller than most. However, this plant will continue to produce many years in the garden after these initial years. Add organic matter to well drained soil, and keep weeds out. Sow seeds 1” below the surface and expose them to full sun. To harvest, cut each spear just below the soil when they are 8-11” long. After harvest, cut plants down to 1” above the soil and mulch over for continual harvests in the next seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFacts:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e Asparagus pairs well with pine and other nuts, pesto, and tomato flavors.
