    This interesting biennial vegetable (living for 2 years) 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, and Internationally for a flat rate of $20*. Shipping costs to the US will include the cost of a phytosanitary inspection and certificate, as well as tariffs.

    Live plants, bulbs, and bulbils can only be shipped within Canada. 

    Shipping fees listed here are in Canadian dollars, and may change without notice.

     

    Shipping in Canada 

    We ship seeds in Canada via regular letter mail, which is an untracked service, and usually takes 1-3 weeks to arrive once we fulfill your order, but occasionally orders take longer, especially to the Eastern provinces and rural areas.

    Customers can now opt for tracked, express shipping options at checkout if you require faster delivery.

    Larger bulbs and plants are sent via tracked flat rate box.

     

    Shipping to the US

    Shipping charges to the US will also now include a government phytosanitary inspection and certificate. This will be bundled into the shipping cost. We ship via Canada Post, and any applicable duties will be calculated at checkout. So far (as of Sept 1, 2025), it's looking like there are no duties charged on seeds. 

    Please expect delays for US shipping, as during busy times it can take up to 2 weeks for us to book a phytosanitary inspection.
