Description
- Smooth white-skinned roots
- Sweet earthy flavour
- Good canker resistance
- RHS Award of Garden Merit
Exhibition-worthy Parsnip ‘Gladiator’ produces superb smooth white-skinned roots with a sweet earthy flavour. Reliable and trouble-free, with good resistance to canker, it’s a deserving holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit. The plants are quick-growing and ready to harvest in autumn, but will taste even sweeter once they’ve had a nip of frost.
Sow outdoors
Sow 1cm (0.in) deep in rows 30cm (12in) apart directly into harvest location. Thin out to 15cm (6in) apart.
Tips
Parsnips grow best in well dug, stone free soil which has not recently been manured. Autumn frosts improve flavour. Parsnips seldom transplant well.
Growing Calendar
How to Guide
Sowing Outdoors
Sow seed fairly thickly in pre-watered, shallow rows, and cover with a little soil. Allow about 40cm (16in) between rows. Delay early sowings if soil is very wet or cold; later sowings will make up any lost time.
As seedlings develop, thin them gradually, eventually to about 15cm (6in) apart. Keep soil moist until seedlings are established.
ALWAYS BUY PARSNIP SEED FRESH EACH YEAR, AS IT DOES NOT STORE WELL ONCE THE FOIL SACHET HAS BEEN OPENED.
