100 Parsnip Seeds All American White Root Vegetable Heirloom Garden

All American Parsnip is a classic heirloom root vegetable prized for its smooth, creamy white tapered roots and dependable, uniform performance in the garden. This variety produces long, well-formed roots with a mild, sweet, earthy flavor that sweetens further after cool weather, making it a rewarding crop for both beginner and experienced growers.

The roots are excellent for roasting, mashing, soups, and stews, and they store well for extended winter use. Parsnips are a cool-season crop that performs best in deep, loose, stone-free soil, and the roots develop the finest quality when grown steadily through the season and finished in cooler temperatures. Sow direct in the garden as transplants do not perform well.
