What Makes American Purple Top Rutabaga Special
American Purple Top Rutabaga is a classic root vegetable that has been a garden favorite for generations. Known for its distinctive purple-tinged crown and creamy yellow flesh, this variety offers both reliable yields and exceptional flavor. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this hardy vegetable is worth adding to your growing space.
Growing Conditions and Care
Rutabagas thrive in cool-season gardens and prefer full sun with well-draining soil. Plant seeds directly in the garden in mid-summer for a fall harvest, spacing them about 6 inches apart. These plants are relatively low-maintenance and benefit from consistent moisture and occasional fertilizing. They're also quite cold-hardy, meaning you can harvest them well into the fall and even winter in milder climates.
Flavor and Culinary Uses
The American Purple Top variety has a mild, slightly sweet flavor that becomes even more pronounced after a light frost. This makes it perfect for roasting, mashing, or adding to soups and stews. Many gardeners appreciate how this vegetable stores well in cool conditions, providing fresh produce for weeks or even months after harvest.
Why Choose This Variety
American Purple Top Rutabaga is prized for its consistent performance across different growing regions. The plants produce large, globe-shaped roots with smooth skin and excellent keeping quality. If you're looking for a dependable, flavorful root vegetable that delivers impressive harvests, this heirloom variety is an excellent choice for your garden.
- Recommended by USU. Large 5 to 6 inch roots are purple and yellow colored, nearly round. Flesh is yellow, mild and fine grained.

OUR PLEDGE TO YOU
Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.
For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants. The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.
We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.
We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. We don't touch that stuff and we never will.
The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.
Every variety we offer is 100% OP (open-pollinated). Open-pollination means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserve a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.
To make it perfectly clear ... Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
