Edible root, but I'm growing for its flower.
Comments on this photo
I haven’t tasted it, but I found that once I grew it, it self seeded very well. The plants are hard to remove if you leave them too long. They have a very long tap root. Beautiful flower though.

That's a really striking flower, I've zoomed in further. It really is an attractive one, love the colour, Sue.
Never tried Salsify.

Thanks Karen, about the long Root, Ive planted it in a deep pot, surrounded by 4 Parsnips.

Has anyone tasted Salsify? I understand it has a flavour like oysters.
