Skirret Start - Rare Perennial Root Vegetable | Heirloom, Open-Pollinated | Food Forest Favorite

Rediscover a forgotten root that fed Europe for centuries - and plant it once, harvest for life.

Skirret (Sium sisarum) is a beautiful, low-maintenance perennial vegetable grown for its clusters of sweet, parsnip-like roots. Once a staple of medieval kitchen gardens, it nearly vanished from modern cultivation - but food forest growers and permaculture gardeners are bringing it back, and for good reason.

Why gardeners love skirret:

Plant it once and it returns every year, spreading slowly into a productive clump. The flavor is sweet and mild - often compared to parsnip or carrot with a hint of sweetness that intensifies after frost. Roots can be roasted, steamed, stir-fried, or made into soup. The feathery foliage is attractive in the garden, and the white umbel flowers draw pollinators all season long.

Perfect for food forests, permaculture gardens, cottage gardens, survival gardens, and anyone building a low-input, high-yield edible landscape.
