Notes
'Hakurei' turnip (Brassica rapa 'Hakurei') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. This white salad turnip sets the standard for flavor, and it grows at a rapid rate. White flowers appear in early to late summer.
Pairs well with Spinach, Scallion green onion, Lovage, and Pansy.
