Description

Three different flavours! One packet each of Boltardy, Burpee's Golden and Chioggia Pink.

Boltardy

An excellent resistance to bolting from an early sowing with the colour and the flesh as good as Detroit. Sweet fresh flavour.

Burpee's Golden

A succulent, delightful flavour and the tops steamed or boiled are highly nutritious and spinach-like, eaten when the beet is between golf and tennis ball size. Sow thicker than normal as Burpee's Golden has inherent lower germination trait.

Chioggia Pink

Orange-pink on the outside, an appealing 'bullseye' combination of rosy-red and white on the inside, which fades to soft pink when cooked. Sweet, tender and succulent with lustrous dark green leaves and ruby-red stems.
