Product description
Parsnip 'Tender and True' is a favourite among gardeners, renowned for its smooth, white roots and sweet, earthy flavour. This reliable open-pollinated variety has stood the test of time, producing long, tapering parsnips with excellent texture and minimal core. Ideal for roasting, mashing, or adding depth to hearty winter dishes, it’s a must-have for traditional vegetable gardens.
Sow seeds directly outdoors from March to May in deeply cultivated, stone-free soil. Parsnips prefer a sunny position and consistent moisture during germination, which can take weeks. Thin seedlings to 15cm apart once established and allow roots to develop slowly over summer. Harvest from September through to February, when the flavour sweetens after the first frost.
Hardy, dependable, and packed with flavour, Parsnip 'Tender and True' is a top choice for gardeners seeking a classic crop with proven performance. Its long storage life and resistance to canker make it a staple for winter harvests and a rewarding addition to any vegetable patch.
