Turnip - Brassica rapa (Rapifera group)

Biennial Heirloom. Purple Top White Globe is a fast growing, crisp, fine-grained turnip. It is purple above ground and white below. It keeps its mild, sweet flavor and tenderness yet grows larger than other turnips and stores well.

Did You Know? Turnip greens are an excellent source of many vitamins including vitamins A, C, E, B6, and folate. They are also an excellent source of the minerals calcium, copper and manganese. In addition, turnip greens are an excellent source of dietary fiber.

Soil & Water: Turnips like loose, moderately fertile soil with a pH of 6.5-7.0. Water moderately. They prefer cool weather and grow best when grown quickly in 60-65F daytime temperatures.

Planting & Growing: While seeds can be started indoors, they perform best when seeds are sown directly 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Sow every 2 weeks through mid-summer for a continuous harvest.

Harvesting & Storage: Harvest a few greens when the plants are young and eat the rest when you harvest the roots at a length of 3"-4". The greens and roots are best eaten fresh, though both can be frozen. Store roots in cool, moist conditions.

Fast Shipping

I ordered these seeds along with others and received them super fast! I planted them and only one sprouted. :( I will save the rest of the seeds for next spring and see if more will sprout.

Turnip Growth

These turnips produce very nicely and grow rather quickly in moderate temperatures producing 4" turnips in 60 days. The spacing reference on the package is completely misleading. The spacing for storage (full) grown plants should be 12 to 18 inches on all sides not 4 inches otherwise adjacent plants will be overshadowed.

Good Classic Turnip

This was a nice quintessential turnip. I had very good germination rates with the seeds and the plants were good quality.
