Description
Turnip Snowball Seeds - Irish Plants Direct
The Brassica rapa commonly known as Turnip is a versatile root vegetable that has been cultivated for centuries.
The Latin name Brassica rapa refers to the genus Brassica (which includes other cabbage family members) and rapa (meaning "turnip" in Latin).
Snowball is a smooth, round variety of turnip known for its pure white skin and tender, sweet flesh, making it ideal for both cooking and raw consumption. Its mild, slightly peppery flavour is perfect for soups, stews, mashes, and salads.
This fast-growing, cool-season root vegetable grows to a height of 20-30 cm and thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun or partial shade. Snowball turnips are quick to mature, typically ready for harvest in just 6-8 weeks from sowing, making them a great choice for gardeners looking for a fast turnaround.
Their crisp, tender roots and attractive white appearance make them a great addition to vegetable gardens, raised beds, or container gardening.
Seed Qty: Approx. 1000
Sow: March - July
Germination: 7 - 10 days
Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil; slightly alkaline to neutral pH
Height: 20 - 30 cm
Harvesting: 6 - 8 weeks after sowing
Companion Plants: Peas, Lettuce, Radishes
Avoid Planting With: Cabbage family members (e.g., Broccoli, Kale)
Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging, which can cause the roots to rot. Thin seedlings to allow space for the turnips to grow to their full size.
Sowing Instructions
Indoors: Sow seeds in trays or pots filled with moist, well-drained compost from March to April. Lightly cover the seeds and keep at a temperature of 18-21°C. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them to their final growing location or direct sow outdoors after the last frost.
Outdoors: Sow directly into well-prepared soil from March to July. Thin seedlings to 15 cm apart for optimal growth. Keep the soil moist until germination occurs and continue to water during dry spells to ensure healthy root development.
Turnip Snowball is perfect for gardeners looking for a quick-growing, space-efficient root vegetable with a mild, sweet flavour. Its attractive white roots and early harvest make it a great choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners alike.
