| I live in south Missouri about 12 miles from the Arkansas line. Can I leave salsify in the ground during the winter and pull just the plants that I need to eat that day? |
| Salsify, or Oyster Plant, is a hardy biennial that can be left in the ground over winter. During its second spring it will produce a flower stalk topeed by a large head of lavender purple flowers. Harvest your salsify before the flower stem emerges or the root will begin to shrivel and lose flavor. |
