Salsify Planting Information:

Salsify is also known as Oyster Plant and Vegetable Oyster. It is grown like Parsnips and is one of the hard-to-grow root vegetables. Salsify needs a finely cultivated soil, preferably sandy soil. Work the soil to a depth of 1 to 1.5 feet, ensuring it is loose. Planting should be done immediately after the last frost. They can not take the mid-summer climate, so plant in early spring in the fall. The deeper the soil is tilled, the longer the roots will develop. Plants are 8" to 12" tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires loose, fertile sandy soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant. Use plenty of manure and compost for large roots.

Water Requirements:

Keep the soil uniformly moist and from drying out. Keep watered during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle-Gro.

Harvest Tips:

Dig or pull roots when they are 8" in length.
