Watanabe Early Burdock, also called Gobo, is highly prized as a nutritious delicacy in Japan and a traditional Asian vegetable. This early variety matures faster than Takinogawa and has the same rich flavor with a slightly shorter, very tender root. Plants can grow up to 3' tall. 75-85 days.
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. Burdock has been used by the Native American tribes, Malecite, Micman, Ojibwa, and Menominee, for skin health and food. The Iroquois would dry the root to store and eat during the winter months. 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.
