White Half Long Parsnip Seeds – Heirloom Root Vegetable with Sweet, Nutty Flavor for Cool-Season Gardens

White Half Long Parsnip Seeds (Pastinaca sativa) from Survival Garden Seeds produce a classic heirloom root vegetable valued for dependable growth and excellent flavor. This early maturing parsnip variety develops smooth, creamy-white roots with a naturally sweet, nutty taste that becomes even richer after exposure to cool temperatures.

Well suited for cooler climates, White Half Long Parsnips tolerate frost and can be left in the ground until harvest, allowing gardeners to enjoy fresh roots well into late fall or early winter. Roots typically reach 5–7 inches long, while the leafy tops grow 12–18 inches tall, making this variety a practical choice for smaller gardens and container growing.

As a member of the carrot family, parsnips offer a unique flavor profile with subtle earthiness and a mild spicy note. White Half Long produces tender roots that perform beautifully in roasting, soups, stews, and savory dishes, or can be eaten raw when young.

How to Use / How to Grow:
Direct sow parsnip seeds in loose, well-drained soil in full sun as soon as soil can be worked in early spring. Parsnips do not transplant well, so sow where plants will mature. Keep soil consistently moist during germination, which may take several weeks. Thin seedlings to allow room for root development. Harvest after frost for the sweetest flavor, or leave roots in the ground and harvest as needed.
