A traditional and reliable variety, ‘Halblange’ parsnip produces smooth, tapered roots with excellent flavour and a tender texture. Selected by River Cottage, it’s a dependable choice for home growers looking for a classic winter crop.
 
Known for its slightly shorter, thicker roots, this variety performs well even in heavier soils where longer varieties can struggle. The flavour develops beautifully after the first frosts, becoming sweeter and more complex - perfect for roasting and hearty seasonal dishes.
 
Slow to establish but highly rewarding, parsnips are a true grower’s crop, offering a generous harvest through autumn and winter.
