The classic salsify.
Roots are long and tapered like carrots, with off-white skin and white flesh. The upright, grass-like leaves and edible, second-summer purple flowers distinguish it from scorzonera. An excellent storage root, salsify can also be overwintered for spring harvest, like with parsnips. Also known as oyster plant. Avg. 8-10″ long x 1″ diameter. Biennial.

| CULTURE | Salsify prefers a deep, friable, well-drained soil. Sow in mid- to late spring in a 2" band about 1" apart (20 seeds/ft.), ½" deep, in rows 18–24" apart. Do not allow soil to dry out prior to emergence. Thin plants to 2–3" apart. |
| DISEASES | Prevent disease with crop rotation and sanitation. |
| HARVEST | Dig roots in late fall just before the ground freezes. Flavor is best after several frosts. In mild areas, a portion of the crop may be left in the garden for spring harvest, as salsify is cold hardy. Apply a mulch or row cover in cold regions for winter survival insurance. |
| STORAGE | Overwinter in soil or store in root cellar or refrigerator at 32°F (0°C) and 95% relative humidity. |
| AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE | 1 oz./130', 7.7 oz./1,000', 10.5 lb./acre at 20 seeds/ft. in rows 24" apart. |
