ARK Heirloom Seeds proudly carries a wide range of quality heirloom seeds and produce. And while most gardeners are familiar with carrots, lettuce, peppers, and beans, fewer consider the flavor and health benefits of rutabaga! Our team at ARK offers a quality selection of heirloom rutabaga seeds that are perfect for your backyard garden. This sweet root vegetable is hardy, similar to turnips, and can grow in more intense grow zones or environments. Therefore, bulk rutabaga seeds are ideal for preppers or individuals living in harsher regions. Harvesting and storing rutabaga is simple, too, making these seeds a great choice for beginner gardeners! Read on to learn more about heirloom rutabaga seeds and order your own pack today.
Healthy Raw Organic Brown Rutabaga Root Vegetables
Store turnips or rutabagas over the winter in a cold area with high humidity or leave outside in areas with mild winters. In the spring, transplant the entire root to its original depth and they will grow in height and then flower. Heirloom rutabaga seeds are mature when pods are dry. Harvest into bags as seed can be lost due to shattering. Or harvest onto a tarp in the morning when plants are still wet with dew. Use a 1/8″ screen to help with cleaning.
Heirloom rutabagas are a classic “keeper” vegetable for colder climates. The American Purple Top Rutabaga produces very large yellow roots with brilliant purple globes. The succulent flesh turns an orange/yellow color when cooked.
Maturity: 90 days
