Turnip - De Nancy - Wholesome colour in one, proven choice - Fresh Seeds

Turnip De Nancy is an early variety valued for its mild flavour and attractive appearance. The roots are round and slightly flattened, with a creamy white base and pink to purple tops. When sliced, it reveals white, crisp flesh with a juicy texture, making it ideal for eating raw, as well as for boiling, stewing, or pickling.

Sowing depth

Sow De Nancy turnip seeds to a depth of 1 to 2 cm. Correct depth supports even germination and a strong, healthy start.

Sowing time outdoors

You can sow De Nancy very early, from March to April, for an early spring crop. A second sowing in July or August is also recommended to provide fresh, firm roots in autumn. Two sowings in one year are a simple way to enjoy harvests for longer.

Spacing

Keep a spacing of 40 x 10 cm. This allows each plant to develop freely and form well-shaped roots without excessive growth or distortion, giving you both good looks and excellent eating quality.

Harvest time

If sown in spring, De Nancy can be harvested as early as June. For summer sowings, the best harvest period is from October to November, when the roots reach a good size while staying juicy and mild. Harvested at the right time, they remain crisp and full of flavour.

Growing

De Nancy has modest soil requirements and performs well in many garden conditions. It prefers a sunny or lightly shaded position and copes well with cooler spring temperatures. It is not prone to becoming pithy, so the flesh stays juicy and gently flavoured for longer. It can be grown successfully in open ground in vegetable beds and home gardens, making it a reliable choice for both beginners and experienced growers.
