Turnip Royal Crown (55 Days)

Huge, uniformly round, purple-top Turnip has mild flavour and no coarse fiber. Use the tasty leaf green tops, too. They make a tangy boiling green. Hybrid.

Planting Instructions: Hakurei turnips thrive in cool weather and can be planted in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Sow the seeds directly into well-prepared, loose soil, spacing them about 1 in. apart in rows 12-18 in. apart. Lightly cover the seeds with soil and keep the area moist to ensure proper germination. These turnips mature quickly, typically in about 38 days, and are best harvested when they reach about 2 in. in diameter. For a continuous harvest, consider sowing seeds every few weeks during the growing season.
