Listing is for 10 Seeds. Laurentian Rutabega / Swede Turnip is a cool-season root crop grown for round, swollen roots that often show a deeper-toned shoulder above the soil and a lighter body below. Plants form a tight rosette of smooth green leaves as the root enlarges, and the crop is typically grown as an annual for dependable harvests. It’s a strong choice for gardeners who want a reliable storage root that develops best in mild, steady weather.

Sow directly in the garden for spring or late-season harvest, aiming to avoid the hottest stretch of the year while roots are bulking up. Even moisture and consistent growth are key—dry spells followed by heavy watering can stress plants and slow development. Thin seedlings so each plant has room to swell, and keep weeds down early so the crop doesn’t stall.

If left to continue into a second season, the plant can send up stems with small yellow, mustard-like flowers, showing its brassica lineage. Most growers harvest when roots are firm and well-sized, then cure and store them in a cool, dark space. Rutabagas also handle light frosty weather well, which many gardeners use to time a late, tidy harvest window.
