Shogoin Turnip
Growing Shogoin Turnip
‘Shogoin’ is a Japanese heirloom turnip prized for producing both high-quality roots and abundant leafy greens. Smooth, round white roots have a tender texture, while vigorous tops make this variety especially useful for gardeners who want two crops from one planting.
Sow ‘Shogoin’ directly in the garden about ½ inch deep, space plants 4 to 6 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This cold-tolerant variety is well suited to containers and performs especially well as a fall crop.
Ready to harvest in about 30 days, pull roots once they reach the desired size while they remain tender.
Mild and versatile, ‘Shogoin’ is excellent for pickling, salads, soups, braising, and cooked greens.
