Several years ago I saved asparagus seeds from my late grandparents' garden.  This was from plants they had planted many years ago.  I do not know what variety they planted, whether it was heirloom or not, I do not know.  Pictures of the spears in my hand are of the asparagus from my grandparents' garden.  I planted the seeds in my own garden.  Last picture is of my plants in late summer.  My plants are only several years old at this time.  I have harvested a minimal amount from them the past few years.  This past year I saved seeds from my own plants and that is what I will be sending you.

I will ship the seeds in their red berry.  I don't know, but I suppose the berry may help to preserve the viability of the seeds.  Regardless I think the red berries are pretty!  The seeds are not difficult to remove from the berry but if you prefer to have yours removed before shipping I will gladly do so for you.  Just send me a message.  I find it really varies how many seeds are in a berry.  Some berries may only contain 1 seed (generally more) the one I opened in the photo had 5 seeds.  I will send you 12 berries.  I do highly recommend you remove the seeds from the berries before planting!  I have tried it both ways, with or without the berry, for several different seeds.  I have a feeling critters find and eat the berries including the seeds inside!  As it seems there is better germination from the individual seeds.

I did a germination test with these seeds.  I wrapped 10 seeds in a moist paper towel and kept them in the refrigerator for about 5 1/2 weeks.  I then brought them into room temperature, after only a few days 9 out of the 10 where beginning to sprout.

Please contact me with any questions!

I also have other varieties of plant seeds listed.  If you would like to purchase more than one variety please see my listing for All My Seeds where you can purchase with a discount and with one flat rate postage no matter how many seeds you purchase!  :-)

Please check out my other listings as well.  I generally check emails at least 2 times a day (except not on Sunday), so I generally will get back with you promptly!
