Purple Prince turnip seeds produce bright purple summer harvest turnips. The pure white flesh is crisp and tasty, and never too strong in flavour. The strong tops are also delicious, and suitable for picking as greens. The purple on the shoulder is pronounced, and the skins are smooth with a slender tap root. Harvest this fast maturing dynamo at or just before the 15cm (6") size. The prince — he is purple, speedy, highly uniform, and clubroot resistant. This is a good candidate for planting multiple short rows throughout the season so they don't all come ready at once.
Matures in 55 days. (Hybrid seeds)
