Hollow Crown Improved Parsnip

Hollow Crown Parsnip. Heirloom vegetable. Long, smooth, tender and sugary roots can grow up to 30cm (12in) long and be up to 7.5cm (3in) wide at the shoulder.

Be very patient with germination – it can take up to 3 weeks for the seed to sprout. Also do not be in a hurry to harvest your parsnips in the fall.

Roots require exposure to frosty weather to develop full flavour... the longer you wait, the better the flavour gets.
