Botanical Interest - Early Wonder Beet Heirloom Organic Seeds

*VAT EXCLUSIVE PRICING* 
 
Since 1911, 'Early Wonder' has delivered abundant greens, flavorful beets, and early production. Great for mild climates where multiple crops are possible. The 18" greens are as delicious, and high in vitamins A and C, iron, and potassium. Beet seed is actually a dried fruit with 1-5 seeds in each fruit, so thinning is very important.
 
Days to Maturity: 48 days
Plant Dimensions: Leaf tops are 18" tall
Variety Information: Smooth, 1 ½"–2 ½;" diameter with slightly flattened roots. Leaf tops are dark green on red stems. 'Early Wonder', introduced in 1911, is an excellent beet for both greens and roots, ready for harvest in as little as 40 days. Especially good in early spring due to its ability to grow in cool soils.
