It has a mild flavour that some compared to oysters (thus its nickname).
Salsify needs full sun and moist, deep soil. Good drainage is a must. It prefers slightly alkaline soil with a pH of 7 or above. If you have more acidic soil, lime the bed in the fall to raise the pH for spring planting. Raised beds will work fine if they are at least 10 inches deep.
