Takinogawa Long Burdock is the legendary Japanese heirloom that became the parent of 90% of modern burdock varieties. Grows up to 3 feet with thin skin and crisp flesh perfect for traditional gobo dishes. Cold-hardy and harvest-able fall through winter. A proven heritage variety with centuries of success.
Burdock, also known as "Gobo" in Japan, burdock root (Arctium lappa) is an incredibly nutritive food and medicine. Often cooked in soups or pickled, it is known for its healing properties and high vitamin content. The burdock root's ability to penetrate heavy clay subsoil can help improve drainage, but be careful – once burdock is in your garden, it is difficult to get it out.
Burdock seeds will not germinate without sensing light. Seeds must be barely covered with soil. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Harvest young and tender leaves. 75 days.
