  • Long smooth white roots
  • Extra sweet flavour and good texture
  • Disease-resistant
  • RHS Award of Garden Merit

Award-winning Parsnip ‘Albion’ is one of the best, producing long smooth white roots with great texture and a delicious sweet flavour. Specially bred for good canker resistance, it’s a good choice for organic growers. The long white roots store well without discolouring.

Avoid bare skin contact with leaves in summer. Wash skin after contact. Parsnips grow best in well dug, stone free soil which has not recently been manured. Always buy parsnip seeds fresh each year as it does not store well once the soil sachet has been opened. Parsnips can take up to 3 weeks to germinate.

How To Grow

Parsnips are the quiet achievers of the veg patch – unassuming on the surface, but dig a little deeper and you’ll be rewarded with sweet, earthy roots that only get better with time. Hardy and low-maintenance, they’re happy to grow slowly through the season, delivering delicious flavour in autumn and winter dishes. A frost or two only improves their sweetness, making them a true cold-weather treat.


Outdoor Sowing
Sow parsnip seeds directly outdoors from early spring. Be patient as they take time to germinate, but once established, they need little care beyond occasional watering and weeding. Plant seeds 1cm deep, spacing 15cm between plants and 30cm between rows. Parsnips don’t require staking or special attention, making them one of the easiest root crops to grow.


Harvesting
Lift parsnips from autumn onwards, but for the best flavour wait until after the first frosts. Cold temperatures trigger a natural sugar boost, giving roots their characteristic sweet, nutty taste. Leave some in the ground over winter and harvest as needed.


Companion Planting
Sow fast-germinating radishes alongside parsnips. Radishes loosen the soil for the slower parsnips and provide an early crop while you wait for the main harvest.
