Please find for sale 50+ fresh Scorzonera Hispanica seeds, also known as Black Salsify or Spanish Salsify. The variety is VRN Enorma - a very productive variety with long length and smoot roots. Popular on the continent, these really should be grown more on British vegetable patches - they are relatively trouble free and the taste is excellent -  think of a milder cross of parsnip and artichoke. Great with butter! Like parsnips, roots can be left in the ground over winter so you will have a source of frsh veg even in the darkest winter days!
