A pure white, fairly smooth round heirloom beet from Holland. Its super-sweet white flesh is unusual and tasty and the greens are also good to eat. This beet is so sweet it can be used for making sugar, and they’re great for kids. Plus there’s no staining or mess when cooking!
Growing Information
For early crops sow March-early April. For use in summer and autumn make successional sowings from late April to July. Store roots in dry sand, soil, or peat for winter use. (12-16 weeks maturity.)
Sowing Information
Sow seeds from spring to early summer very thinly in drills 3cm (1in) deep in rows 30cm (12in) apart. When the seedlings are large enough to handle thin them out gradually to 10cm (4in) apart. The later thinning will be large enough to use in a salad. Pull the beetroot when the roots are 0.5in diameter or larger.
