I have asparagus growing well. I do get snow a couple days a year here in the high desert of California.

In the winter while they are dormant.

I've bought purple asparagus in a pot. There are 6 woody stems in the pot. Should I try to disentangle the root systems and plant each stem separately ?

Yes. Detangle the roots and plant separately.

I am in southeastern coastal North Carolina and planted asparagus last Feb. They did awesome, and still are doing great, so I don’t know when to cut them back so they start growing next year. They are very tall and full. (Some of them are starting to turn yellow but only a few.) We haven’t cut anything since they were planted. Any advice on when to cut them back is appreciated.

What variety did you plant ? I am in south eastern NC 8a and I’m going to give it a whirl.
