Parsnip 'Countess F1'

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Countess F1 is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips. Countess F1 requires a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 - 6.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil.

Look to ensure a distance 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Countess F1 about 15 days after your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Countess F1 is a half hardy plant.
