Hollow Crown Parsnips

Hollow Crown parsnip is a traditional heirloom variety cherished for its long, tapered roots and sweet, earthy flavor that improves after exposure to frost. The roots are typically creamy white, smooth, and can grow 12–15 inches long, making them excellent for roasting, mashing, or adding to soups and stews. This variety is known for its reliability and excellent storage qualities, making it a favorite for winter use. Hollow Crown parsnips thrive in cool weather and well-drained, fertile soil, requiring a long growing season of about 120 days to mature. Its uniform shape and rich taste have made it a staple in home gardens for generations.
