Seven Top Turnip Heirloom Turnip Seeds

Seven Top Turnip Seeds (Heirloom)

The Premier Choice for Southern-Style Greens

If you grow turnips for the leaves rather than the roots, Seven Top is the gold standard. This pre-1800s Virginia heirloom is grown exclusively for its lush, dark-green foliage. While other turnips focus energy on the bulb, Seven Top pours all its nutrients into producing a massive harvest of tender, peppery greens that are staples in traditional Southern cooking. 

Why Choose Seven Top?

• Focused on Foliage: Unlike standard varieties, Seven Top produces woody, inedible roots, allowing the plant to yield a higher volume of premium quality greens.

• Nutrient Dense: These greens are a powerhouse of vitamins A, C, and K, offering a deep, earthy flavor that is far superior to store-bought alternatives.

• Extreme Hardiness: This is one of the most cold-tolerant greens available. It thrives in the spring and fall, and in many climates, it can even be overwintered for a very early spring harvest.

   

• Fast-Growing: With a maturity rate of just 40–45 days, you can go from seed to harvest in less than seven weeks.

Choose Your Harvest Size

• 1.6g Sampler: Perfect for home gardeners wanting to add a nutrient-dense "cut-and-come-again" green to a few raised beds.

• 1oz Pouch: The ideal size for families who enjoy regular batches of sautéed greens or "pot likker" throughout the season.

• 1lb Bulk Bag: Best value for market growers, homesteaders, and those looking to plant large-scale cover crops or forage patches.

Growing & Harvest Tips

• Sun & Soil: Prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It is an excellent choice for succession planting every two weeks for a continuous harvest.

   

• Harvesting for Tenderness: For the best flavor, harvest leaves when they are young and approximately 4–6 inches long. This ensures they remain tender and sweet.

• Garden Maintenance: Seven Top is naturally vigorous and resistant to many common pests, making it an excellent low-maintenance crop for organic gardeners.

• In the Kitchen: While famous for being slow-simmered with bacon or ham hocks, these greens are also excellent when lightly sautéed with garlic, added to hearty winter stews, or used as a zesty addition to fresh salads.
