if you can find bare root this time of year in Michigan I would put in the ground. (Being a Californian I don't know how hard/cold your soil is today).. You are just going to be growing some nice ferns for two years. Then you can start eating in the spring. My asparagus is almost through with harvest. Always leave one to two full size stalk in each plant group to keep that bunch of roots growing during the summer fall. Second year plants from a nursery don't give you a quicker harvest.

When you don't have any more cold/frost at night. Here in Ct., I put my seedlings in end of April, beginning of May. It's a good head start on what you put in your garden.

I live in the UP of Michigan & my garden is buried under 8 ft of snow. I'll have to give you the answer come spring which be a ways off with the temps we've been having.

i don't think it would be wrong to plant the roots in august because it takes two additional years after planting for them to produce adequately. they continue to increase production every year after that.

It should grow in your state without difficulty. Just scratch the dirt - deep enough to have the seed fall in and then lightly rack over the seeded area, water and you are good to go!

I grow the. In pa. Planted them in late May ,cool nights kept them from growing ,now they are moving .I think if you have a spot that gets some shade during the late afternoon they will take the heat

I live in the high desert (4000 ft.) and I planted in the early summer. Nurseries who sell these or any plants should let customers know when to plant certain plants. If I still lived in Sacramento, Ca. I would have planted this in the spring. Good luck...

I planted mine in the spring after danger of hard frost. Once established they are very hardy. I planted mine similar to how they grew up in Canada although I'm now in West Virginia. That was morning sun. We often found them growing along the edges of the woods. Depending on where you are you may still have time to plant them outdoors. They might need extra protection on some of the odd very cold nights but once their root system is established they should be fine.

Spring would be best if you live more in the north. I planted mine during summer. It is growing nicely, but no flowers yet. I will mulch and have it in a more sheltered area so it survives winter. Hopefully it will really take off next spring.

I plant mine in very early Spring...just as soon as the threat of frost has passed. Once they start to bloom, they will bloom until frost. When the seed heads pop, save the seeds and plant them the next Spring!

This plant will grow in zones 4-6. You should be fine with it. It will survive snow. It's a perennial. I haven't even planted mine yet. We have a frost warning for tonight. Crazy weather. I'm using it for around rocks in a rock garden to fill in the spaces. Good luck!

Twiggy sounds about right, I live in new jersey and planted it in September. I have no shoots at all and its only grown leaves, but its still alive I am hopeful.

it depends on where you live and what part of the country it is. I live in Oklahoma so my trees have to be kept in pots. They can't handle the winters here. In southern texas or any gulf region it is best to plant in the fall. When heat is not as intense. Early spring also.

I live in Rhode Island and the winters are somewhat harsh. When would you recommend I plant the seeds?

In Michigan, where I originally lived, these plants grow wild and can be purchased at many grocery stores. I do know this, however ... these plants need at least a year to mature and split into many little ones. If you haven't waited a year - through a winter into the spring - then you need to let them grow a little longer before you try to harvest them. Give it a try and see what happens.

Honestly, I don't know. I'm trying here in Virginia. We planted three in the spring, with manure. They summered nicely. we just applied some heavy mulch in anticipation of winter. Hope yours and ours do well. Susan Berry
