- Asparagus is a cold-hardy plant, so it can withstand cooler spring temperatures.
- Asparagus emerges once the soil temperature reaches 50 degrees.
- Plant asparagus in late winter or early spring, usually February or March. It’s recommended to hold off on harvesting the first year (or two) and allow the spears to develop their fern-like foliage in the first growing season. This allows the plant to accumulate carbohydrate reserves, which makes for a good comeback in future years.
