Description

American Purple Top Rutabaga is a pre-1920s heirloom that has earned its place as one of the finest fall root crops in the garden. Larger than most rutabagas, it boasts stunning white and purple skin wrapped around bright yellow flesh with a mild, sweet flavor that shines whether eaten raw, roasted, cubed into stews, or mashed alongside butter and herbs. A reliable, cold-hardy producer that gets better as the season cools.

Growing tips

🌱Direct sow in midsummer, about 90 days before your first expected frost. Rutabagas need cool temperatures to develop their best flavor and size.

❄️Like parsnips, rutabagas sweeten after a light frost. Leave them in the ground until needed — they store well in cold soil through early winter.

💧Thin seedlings to 6–8" apart for large roots. Keep soil evenly moist and weed-free, as rutabagas compete poorly with weeds early on.

🍽️Roast in chunks with olive oil, mash with potatoes for a classic neeps dish, or cube into hearty winter soups and stews. Also delicious eaten raw in slaws.
