In the first year, it develops a lush, pinnate leaf rosette (similar to celery) and the thick, edible taproot. Only in the second year would it develop tall, yellowish-green umbel flowers and bear seeds. The ideal location is full sun to partial shade. For perfectly shaped roots, a deeply loosened, humus-rich, and stone-free soil is required, as solid obstacles lead to forked (\"leggy\") roots. However, the 'Halblange von Guernsey', thanks to its somewhat more squat shape, copes much better with firmer soils than extremely long-growing varieties.
