Organic Mammoth Sandwich Island Salsify - Boost Garden Health

The traditional salsify.

With roots that are elongated and slender, resembling carrots, this variety features a pale skin and white interior. Its tall, grass-like foliage and edible purple blossoms that appear in the second summer set it apart from scorzonera. Salsify is recognized as an outstanding storage root and can be left in the ground through winter for a spring harvest, similar to parsnips. It's commonly referred to as oyster plant. Average dimensions are 8-10 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter. This species is biennial.
