The Black Salsify Scorzonera is an unusual root vegetable native to the Mediterranean arriving in America in the 1700s. Forms uniform slender straight roots with black skin and an inner white core with a distinct, earthy flavor. You can leave some roots in the ground (hardy to zone 5) to pull the following year then harvest the greens in the spring along with the edible, yellow daisy-like flowers. The Black Salsify Scorzonera has a more fibrous but finer texture than Salsify. Loose, sandy soil is ideal for them to grow long and healthy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e100 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #089423;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScorzonera hispanica\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGermination: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14-21 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 60-70ºF. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Sowing Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2\" deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSowing Indoors:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eNot recommended\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSowing Outdoors:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEarly to mid-spring.
