description
Organic Purple Top White Globe Turnip is an heirloom variety of Brassica rapa, captivating with its elegant bicolor root, rapid growth, and delicate flesh. In the garden, it makes a beautiful statement with its tender foliage and round, creamy roots topped with a distinctive purple collar, as if delicately tinted by the cool autumn light. Its white, juicy, and sweet flesh reveals a mild, fragrant flavor subtly reminiscent of carrot, making it a vegetable that is as enjoyable raw as it is cooked. Highly prized for late summer and autumn cultivation, it benefits from cooler temperatures to fully develop its flavorful qualities. Easy to grow, it thrives quickly in loose, fertile, well-drained soil, where its roots form uniformly and without constraint. Its good cold hardiness allows for extended harvests and provides the gardener with a reliable root vegetable as the season progresses. It integrates harmoniously into diversified plantings, alongside numerous companion plants that support a vibrant and balanced garden. Productive, flavorful, and visually striking, the Purple Top White Globe Turnip remains a staple for traditional kitchen gardens.
