Enjoy an easier way to grow a reliable crop of sweet, flavoursome parsnips. White Gem produces medium-sized, wedge-shaped roots with smooth cream skin and flesh, together with useful resistance to canker. The high-quality seed is evenly spaced within biodegradable paper tape, reducing the need for thinning and making tiny seeds much easier to handle. Simply place the tape in a prepared drill, water, cover and leave it to break down naturally.
