Beetroot - Jannis

Beta vulgaris - approximately 200 seeds.

Classic globe-shaped deep purple beetroot with a sweet mild flavour. A newer selection of the famous 'Boltardy' variety from Kultursaat, bred for early production in organic and biodynamic growing conditions.  'Jannis' is versatile and reliable.  These tasty beetroots are a firm favourite of ours.  Grow an early crop for eating fresh or sow later for storage roots.  A great choice for the Scottish garden.

Growing Info

Sow in modules indoors in March/April and transplant 4/5 weeks later for an early crop. Alternatively direct sow outside from April/May onwards.  Sowings made in June/Early July should grow into good storage roots.

Tips: Don't forget to eat the leaves too.
