Skirret cultivation is suitable in USDA zones 5-9. Usually, skirret is grown from seeds; however, it may also be propagated through root division. Skirret is a hardy, cool-season crop that can be directly sown after all danger of frost or started indoors for later transplant eight weeks before the last frost. A little patience is needed, as harvest will not take place for six to eight months.
Work the soil deeply and remove all debris to facilitate root growth. Choose a site in a lightly shaded area. Skirret likes a soil pH of 6 to 6.5. In the garden, sow seeds in rows spaced 12-18 inches (30.5 to 45.5 cm.) apart with six inches (15 cm.) between rows at a depth of ½ inch (1.5 cm.) deep or set roots 2 inches (5 cm.) deep. Thin the seedlings to 12 inches (30.5 cm.) apart.
