    This interesting vegetable has edible roots, shoots, and leaves. It's a biennial that produces showy blue bell-shaped flowers in its second year. The roots can be harvested in the first fall, or early in the second year, and they taste like a crunchy, mild radish. The young shoots can be eaten like asparagus. The leaves are soft and mild to eat in the first year. 

    This plant can self seed easily, and the seeds are very tiny. Cut back the flowers promptly if you don't want seeding.

     

    Growing Instructions

    Seeds are very tiny, start indoors in early spring, pressing seeds into the soil or just barely covering them. Transplant after danger of frost.

    Shipping & Returns

    We ship seeds via Canada Post within Canada for $6 to $8 depending on weight, United States for $20, and Internationally for $20*. Live plants, bulbs, and bulbils can only be shipped within Canada.

    Any shipping overages will be refunded.

     

    Shipping in Canada 

    We ship seeds in Canada via regular letter mail, which is an untracked service, and usually takes 1-2 weeks to arrive once we fulfill your order. Larger bulbs and plants are sent via tracked flat rate box.

     

    Shipping to the US

    We now require all US shoppers to obtain a Small Lot Seed Permit before purchasing. It's free to apply and you will likely be granted the permit instantly. To apply:

    1. Go to https://efile.aphis.usda.gov/s/
    2. Select PPQ-587 in the dropdown menu and click "Get Started".
    3. Login and follow the instructions to obtain a permit. You may list "Eligible Taxa" instead of listing all the species you'd like to import. 
    4. Once you receive your permit, email us a PDF copy, including the yellow/green coloured labels. Tell us if which USDA station you want us to send the seeds to. If not mentioned we will choose a random one. Also let us know your order number. Our email is grow@cicadaseeds.ca
    5. We are not able to send any pepper or tomato seeds, or any bulbils due to restrictions.

    After receiving your documentation, we will follow all requirements for mailing your seeds. We will ship via tracked parcel. Unfortunately we are not able to replace packages that are confiscated or destroyed by customs.
