How Much Space Does Parsnip Plants Need? Sow thinly 1–2 cm (¾ inch) deep in rows 30 cm (12 inches) apart. As an alternative, to combat the sometimes poor germination, try station sowing three seeds every 15 cm (6 inches) and thinning to one seedling. Thin to 15 cm (6 inches) between plants. Don't crowd the plants as you'll end up with very small parsnips. |
