Direct sowing into deeply worked, stone-free soil is also perfectly fine and often gives the straightest roots. Leave the roots in the ground until several frosts have hit them, because cold converts starch to sugar and is what makes a parsnip worth growing. Shipped in a 4\" Pot, well-rooted from our Lineville, Alabama nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature size: 18-30 in tall tops, roots 10-15 in long\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrows best: Outdoors - Grown as an annual in all zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePet safety: Root is non-toxic; foliage sap can cause skin burns in sunlight, so handle tops with gloves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourcing: Nursery-grown by Wade Greens; ships healthy from our Lineville, Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep and even, 1 in per week\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deeply dug, loose, stone-free sandy loam at least 12 inches deep with no fresh manure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Work in a low-nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer before planting; excess nitrogen causes hairy, forked roots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big does it get?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e18-30 in tall tops, roots 10-15 in long\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much light does it need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe for pets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoot is non-toxic; foliage sap can cause skin burns in sunlight, so handle tops with gloves\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it shipped?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePacked to arrive healthy and shipped from our Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wade Greens™","offers":[{"title":"4\" Pot","offer_id":49176856985817,"sku":"WG-PARSNIPSTARTERPL-4IN","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-Pack","offer_id":49176857018585,"sku":"WG-PARSNIPSTARTERPL-6PK","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/wadegreens.com\/products\/parsnip-starter-plant","provider":"Wade Greens™","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
