Growing Purple Top White Globe Turnip
‘Purple Top White Globe’ is a classic heirloom turnip prized for its crisp, sweetly mild flesh and attractive two-tone roots. Nearly round, smooth roots develop purplish-red shoulders above the soil and remain white below, while large lobed greens provide an additional harvest.
Sow ‘Purple Top White Globe’ 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 also well suited to containers.
Ready to harvest in about 53 days, pull roots at the desired size while they remain crisp and tender.
Mild, crisp, and versatile, ‘Purple Top White Globe’ is excellent for everyday cooking and storage.
