Parsnip
Gladiator
Gladiator is an F1 parsnip variety with excellent canker resistance and reliable germination, making it one of the best choices for home growers. It produces smooth, white-skinned roots with a sweet, nutty flavour and is more uniform than heritage varieties. Its disease resistance makes it particularly suited to heavier soils.
