Parsnip 'Dagger'

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Dagger is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Planting Dagger in loamy soil with a ph of between 6.0 and 6.5 is ideal for as it does best in weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.47 inches (1.2 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Dagger about 15 days after your last frost date.

As Dagger is half hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
