Vegetables - Salsify Seeds
Salsify is not very well known to modern American gardeners, but is a novelty vegetable to grow in your garden. Also called Oyster Plant, the long white taproots resemble parsnips or white carrots. It has a lot of nutrients to add to your plate, so if you are looking for something a little different to grow in your garden this year, salsify seeds might be worth a try. All of our vegetable seeds are non-GMO.

Tragopogon porrifolius
The roots of Mammoth Sandwich Island Salsify are about 9" long and tapered. The white flesh of these roots is wonderful for use in soups when peeled and boiled. They have a flavor similar to oysters, so this variety is sometimes called vegetable oyster. These take a good 120 days to grow but are a good keeper that can be overwintered.
