Unwins ‘Improved Hollow Crowned’ Parsnip – Key Features
- Sow directly outdoors: February – April
- Harvest: September – February (roots can be left in the ground until required)
Special Note
Parsnips do best in well dug, stone free soils which have not been recently manured.
Always buy parsnip seed fresh each year, as it does not store well once the foil sachet has been opened.
