Asparagus UC-72, commonly known as Mary's Granddaughter, is a superior heirloom variety developed through decades of selective breeding for commercial and home garden performance. These non-GMO seeds produce vigorous crowns that yield exceptionally uniform, dark green spears measuring 6–12 inches in length with characteristically compact, tight heads and consistent ½-inch diameter. The uniformity and aesthetic appeal make UC-72 equally valuable for market growers seeking premium presentation and home gardeners prioritizing harvest quality. This variety demonstrates remarkable resilience across diverse growing conditions, exhibiting exceptional heat and drought tolerance once established, along with documented resistance to Fusarium Wilt and Rust—two of asparagus's most persistent pathogens. 

Germination Rate: 85%. Date Tested: 9/25. WILL.
