The classic salsify. Roots are long and tapered like carrots, with off-white skin and white flesh. The upright, grass-like leaves and edible, second-summer purple flowers distinguish it from scorzonera. An excellent storage root, salsify can also be overwintered for spring harvest, like with parsnips. Also known as oyster plant. Avg. 8-10" long x 1" diameter. Biennial.
