A '''salsify''', or '''goatsbeard''', is a [[flowering plant]] in the [[genus]] '''''Tragopogon'''''. ''Tragopogon'' is in the family [[Asteraceae]] and has over 140 species, including the [[vegetable]] known as [[Tragopogon porrifolius|salsify]], as well as a number of common wild flowers, some of which are usually regarded as [[weed]]s.

+

Salsifies are [[forb]]s growing as [[biennial plant|biennial]] or [[perennial plant]]s. They have a strong taproot and milky [[Sap (plant)|sap]]. They generally have few branches, and those there are tend to be upright. Their leaves are somewhat grass-like. Flower colour varies within the genus, with some yellow species, and some bronze or purple. Seeds are borne in a globe like that of a [[dandelion]] but larger, and are dispersed by the wind.

+

The salsifies are natives of [[Europe]] and [[Asia]], but several species have been introduced into [[North America]] and [[Australia]] and have spread widely there.

+

Some of the more common species of ''Tragopogon'' are known, in the regions where they are most common, by the common names goat's beard, goatsbeard, salsify, or common salsify, without further qualification. These names are therefore inherently ambiguous, and best avoided, or reserved for the genus collectively. In the species list below, the first common name given is the one that seems to be most widely used for that species and is not in significant use for any other species.

+

The vegetable called salsify is usually the root of [[purple salsify]], ''Tragopogon porrifolius''; the root is described as having the taste of [[oyster]]s (hence the alternative common name "oyster plant" for some species in this genus), but more insipid with a touch of sweetness. The young shoots of purple salsify can also be eaten, as well as young leaves[http://www.northernbushcraft.com/plants/salsify/notes.htm]. Other species are also used in the same way, including the black or [[Spanish salsify]], ''Scorzonera hispanica'', which is closely related though not a member of the genus ''Tragopogon''.

Salsify (formerly sometimes spelled salsafy) is Tragopogon porrifolius, one of the Compositae. A garden esculent, grown for the fleshy root. This root has the flavor of oysters, hence the plant is sometimes called vegetable oyster and oyster plant.

Salsify is perfectly hardy. The seeds (which are really fruits) are sown in early spring, about as soon as the soil can be prepared, in drills where the plants are to stand. The drills may be 2 to 3 feet apart, if tilled by light horse-tools, or half that distance if tilled only by hand. In the rows, the plants are thinned to stand 3 to 6 inches apart. The plant requires the entire season, in the North, in which to grow. The roots may be allowed to remain in the ground until spring, for freezing does not harm them. In fact, they are usually better for being left in the ground, because they do not shrivel and become tough as they often do in storage. If they are kept cool and moist in storage, however, the quality is as good as when the roots remain in the ground. At least a part of the crop should be stored, for the table or the market during winter and early spring.
