Parsnip seeds — sweet, frost-kissed winter roots

Parsnips are one of the great winter vegetables — long, creamy-white roots whose flavour turns wonderfully sweet and nutty after the first frosts. They're a cornerstone of our root vegetable range, and the botanical collection sits under Pastinaca sativa within our wider vegetable seeds. First time growing roots? Our vegetable growing guide covers the basics.

Leave them in the ground and lift as needed — a frost or two only makes them sweeter.

Why grow parsnips

Roast parsnips are a winter highlight, and home-grown roots beat shop-bought hands down for sweetness. The plants are hardy and undemanding once up, sitting happily in the ground all winter beside other keepers like swede and the wider root vegetable bed.

Growing parsnips from seed

Parsnips are sown direct, never transplanted, into deep, stone-free soil — our soil guide explains how to avoid forked roots. Use fresh seed each year, sow thinly and be patient, as they're famously slow to germinate. Keep the bed weed-free while they establish, then leave them to size up. The sowing calendar shows the windows, and the botanical background lives on the Pastinaca sativa page.

Sow alongside a few fast radishes to mark the slow rows while you wait for the parsnips to appear.

At SeedsChoice, every order ships from Meppel, NL with fast, tracked EU delivery.

Why are my parsnips slow to germinate?
Parsnips are naturally slow, often taking three to four weeks. Always use fresh seed each year, keep the soil moist, and be patient. Why do parsnips taste better after frost?
Cold weather converts some of the root's starches into sugars, so parsnips left in the ground through a frost or two become noticeably sweeter. Can I transplant parsnip seedlings?
No — like carrots, parsnips resent root disturbance and should always be sown direct where they are to grow, or roots will fork. How do I get long, straight roots?
Sow into deep, stone-free soil that hasn't been freshly manured. Our soil guide explains how to prepare a bed that avoids forking.
