Ref : P5411 - Brassica rapa
Bag of 500 seeds

This unique, ancient variety produces elongated roots with white flesh, somewhere between a turnip and a rutabaga, offering a soft texture and sweet flavor. The leaves and flowers resemble those of the rutabaga, while the rootstock resembles that of the turnip.

Sow lightly, directly in place, after the last frosts, in rows 25-30 cm apart. Cover seeds lightly, press down and keep soil cool. Thin to 10 cm when plants have 5 to 6 leaves.

Turnips don't like drought. Regular watering is therefore recommended. Roots that will be kept for the winter should be harvested before the first frost and stored in a cellar. They can also be left in the garden, protected from frost, but beware of pests.

This ancient variety is in fact a relatively uncommon interspecific cross between a "brassica rapa" turnip and a "brassica napus" rutabaga, which was stabilized in Vermont by John Gilfeather at the end of the 19th century.
