Beta vulgaris
HEIRLOOM. This quick-growing variety has been prized for its abundant greens and high-quality, 3-inch roots since 1911. Its short time to harvest makes it ideal for succession sowing in mild climates. Early Wonder’s glossy dark green leaves on red stems are some of the best eating quality beet greens you can grow.
Early Wonder beets can be direct-sown in the garden as soon as the soil is workable in spring, or in late summer for fall harvest. Plant in full sun for the largest roots, or part shade for delicious greens. Roots can be ready to pull in just 48 days. 2 gram packet contains about 90 seeds.
