Bag of 2 grams
Hoffmanns Scorsonera is very hardy and can be grown like salsify. Harvested from October to March, it produces long, black roots reminiscent of salsify, with a crunchy texture and pleasant flavor that can be eaten raw, cooked or fried.
It is advisable to wear gloves when harvesting and cleaning the roots, as they are known to stain fingers.

Sow directly in the garden from March to the end of April, one seed every 8 to 10 cm - 2 cm deep - in rows 30 cm apart.
Scorzonera, not to be confused with Salsify, tends to go to seed sometimes quickly in the first year, especially if it lacks water. Cut off the flowering stems as soon as they appear, so that the roots can grow. It can remain in the ground for up to 3 or 4 years.
