One of the oldest heirloom varieties of parsnip, hollow crown is still hard to beat. Sweet and mild nutty flavoured long tapered white roots. While it takes a long season to grow parsnips, they are relatively care free once plants are bigger than the surrounding weeds and thinned to 2-3 inches apart. We like to leave most of them in the ground until late winter/early spring, then dig them up to enjoy their extra sweet flavour.
We are discontinuing parsnip seed production for the foreseeable future. If you are interested in some free old parsnip seeds (unknown germ), let us know and we’ll gladly throw some into your order for you.
