Parsnip Seeds

Grow sweet, nutty parsnips at home with our premium Hollow Crown Parsnip Seeds. Hollow Crown is a classic heirloom variety known for producing long, smooth, cream-colored roots with a sweet, nutty flavor that deepens after frost.

Perfect for vegetable gardens and raised beds with loose, deep soil, Hollow Crown parsnips are a reliable choice for home gardeners looking for a long-season root crop. Fresh parsnips are excellent for roasting, mashing, soups, stews, and winter cooking.

Parsnips perform best in cool growing conditions with loose, deep, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. With patience and a long growing season, Hollow Crown roots develop full size and best flavor, especially after exposure to light frost.

Growing Tip: Sow seeds directly outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring, since parsnips do not transplant well.
