The Story

Flat-topped roots, white with purple crown. Quick maturing, useful in frames and under cloches. Tender when young, with an excellent mild, sweet flavour. Popular in Northern areas.

Growing Information

Suitable for early sowing under cloches. Sow May-July outdoors. For Turnip tops - sow in August, scattering seed thinly and evenly on prepared soil. Rake in lightly. (6-10 weeks maturity)

Sowing Information

Sow thinly direct into finely raked, warm, moist soil at a depth of 13mm ( 1?2") in rows about 30cm (12") apart (Germination 6-10 days). Use thinning as tasty 'turnip tops'; in the mixed salad. Turnips grow best in well cultivated soil containing some lime. Water well during periods of dry weather.
Sow small batches successionally every fortnight so tender pure white roots can be pulled regularly.

Sowing ➞ Cropping - 8-10 weeks.
