NIKA SEEDS - Herb Sugar Root Parsley Gray-White - 2000 Seeds

SUGAR ROOT PARSLEY  The growing period is 90 to 100 days. Gray-white roots are tapered and pointed. The length of the roots is 4 to 6", diameter 1 to 1.5" and weight 1 to 2 oz. The flesh is white, with great taste. Plant leaves and roots are used fresh and dried.    Planting instructions:   Grow plants in full sun to partial shade. Before planting, work the soil to a foot deep, removing rocks, sticks and debris. If the soil is hard, add ample amounts of loam, compost, or peat moss. This will allow the roots to grow down into the soil, unimpeded. Soil should be rich, and well drained. Keep soil moist, not wet. Dry soils will cause the roots to fork and split. Add a general purpose fertilizer once a month during the growing season. Thin plants to 6 inches apart. Keep plants well weeded, especially while they are young. Begin to use roots when they are 5-6 inches long. The leaves can be harvested and used the same way as  regular parsley (the herb). Roots can be stored in the ground, or in a cool/cold shed, often into early winter in most areas.
