if you thin, the roots will be bigger and more uniform, but I've often not thinned them as I don't care so much about this factor. At some point of course, too many all together will stunt their growth.

Do I need to thin the salsify to 1 plant berore planting it in the groung? I put 2 seeds in jiffy pots, I want to harvest the roots. Thanks

Can salsify grow in the North Eastern USA?

I used to have the yellow tragopogon in my former garden but now I only have the purple one. I tried the roots, after blooming, but they were quite woody by then. Is this one the yellow one?

[feralkevin]

This is the purple one.  And the roots are also too woody when it goes to flower.

It grows year round?

[feralkevin]

Here in the Bay Area, California it does. It can take our frosts in the winter, the roots actually taste better after a few frosts.

That's awesome. Thanks for posting this.
