Johnsons Beetroot Cardeal F1 Seeds

A vigorous variety producing high yields of appetising baby or mature beets with a high sugar content. Plants show some resistance to downy and powdery mildew. Seedlings appear within 7-21 days of planting and if continuous crops are desirable sow every 2-3 weeks. Root vegetables boast a host of colours and flavours and include carrots, radish, horseradish, sweet potato, turnip and beetroot. Their low rate of metabolism allows for a relatively long postharvest life. Thanks to their high water content, they are key ingredients for a low fat diet.
