Description

Beet Early Wonder (Beta vulgaris) is a celebrated heirloom variety dating back to 1911, famous for its rapid growth, early harvests, and exceptional dual-purpose performance. Producing smooth, dark red, globe-shaped roots alongside tall, tender dark green tops with striking maroon stems, it offers a sweet, earthy flavor and crisp texture. Extremely dependable in cool spring and autumn soils, this versatile staple is prized for early summer harvests, fresh table slicing, canning, pickling, and harvesting nutritious young greens.
