Brief Description
Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is a biennial plant with a rosette of basal leaves in the first year and a flowering stem in the second. It produces umbels of small, yellowish flowers.
Care Instructions
Parsnips prefer full sun and deep, well-draining soil. They require consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Sow seeds directly in the ground in early spring, as they do not transplant well. Harvest roots after the first few frosts for improved sweetness.
