Planting Information:

Sow when temps are in the mid 70°s in the fall as early as possible. Parsnip seeds will germinate in soil temperatures as low as 48°F (9°C), but ideally, soil at 50º to 54ºF (10° to 12°C) will speed germination. Scatter or place seeds 2-3” apart and 1/8-1/4” deep in very loose, well-tilled, and well-drained soil in full sun. For minimum soil compaction, use raised beds or grow bags. Sprinkle the soil surface to keep moist. Do not allow soil to dry out & crust before the emergence of seedlings, which takes 1–3 weeks depending on temperature & moisture levels. Keep weed-free & evenly moist.

Pastinaca sativa HARDINESS ZONE: Annual 2-9 PLANT HEIGHT: 8-10” PLANT WIDTH: 6” SEED SPACING: 2-4” SEED DEPTH: 1/4-1/2" IDEAL TEMP: 50-75°F GERMINATION: 21-28 days DAYS TO MATURITY: 120 SOIL: Loose, loamy, well-drained LIGHT: Full Sun. Open-Pollinated.
