Parsnip Hollow Crown Seeds

Parsnip Hollow Crown Seeds are a traditional and highly productive variety, valued for their long, creamy white roots with broad shoulders and a consistently sweet, full parsnip flavour. A reliable choice for the kitchen garden, this variety performs well across a long harvest window and is ideal for growers who prioritise flavour and yield.

Sow the loose seeds thinly outdoors in a well-prepared seed bed from late winter to spring. As a slow-germinating crop, patience is rewarded with strong plants that develop into substantial roots, perfect for roasting, mashing or adding depth to winter dishes.

Roots can be harvested from autumn through to late winter, with flavour improving after exposure to frost. Parsnips can be left in the ground and lifted as required, or stored once harvested, making this a dependable staple for home-grown meals throughout the colder months.
