Guernsey (Half Long) is a classic French heirloom dating back to the 1820s, valued for its ability to produce excellent crops in shallower or heavier soils where longer-rooted varieties may struggle. It forms medium to short, tapered roots with creamy white flesh, large leafy tops and a rich, nutty flavour that becomes beautifully sweet when roasted. Also known as Guernsey Half Long, this reliable variety has been treasured for generations and is an excellent choice for home gardens with less-than-perfect soil.
Approximately 250 seeds per gram
Approximately 100 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to July
Subtropics: March to August
Mild climates: March to September
Cold climates: Spring to early autumn
Planting / Sowing
Sow seed directly into well-prepared, loose soil, covering with 10–15 mm of soil. Although tolerant of shallower soils, good drainage and the removal of large stones will produce the best-shaped roots. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which may take 2–4 weeks. Thin seedlings to 10–15 cm apart and harvest once roots are well developed, generally after 120–150 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
