Description

The traditional winter keeper with northern flavor. ‘American Purple Top’ rutabaga forms large, round roots with creamy yellow flesh and purple shoulders. The flavor is rich, sweet, and earthy, improving after frost for hearty soups and mashes.

Plants mature in about 90 days and store well for months, making them a dependable winter crop. Vigorous tops add to its ease of harvest.

An old American favorite first grown in colonial times, this variety continues to symbolize self-reliance and winter comfort—a root that endures both time and cold.
