Parsnip 'White Gem'

Position in a partial sun location and remember to water moderately. White Gem is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so although it can survive a small mild cold snap, it is wise to ensure that this plant is protected from frost damage. White Gem needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.0 to 6.5 (weakly acidic soil).

Sow 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 16°C / 61°F.

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

White Gem is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in early winter.
