Planting Instructions
When planting salsify, sow the seeds directly into the garden row, bed or container and thin out the seedlings to 1 1/2" between plants as they mature. Seeds may be mixed with a small amount of sand before seeding to make thin seeding easier, or shake from a salt or pepper shaker.
It is difficult to plant tiny seeds thinly enough. Try a salt or pepper shaker to sprinkle seeds thinly. Thin them to make room for parsnip roots to grow. Thin weekly until plants are about 1 1/2" apart.
