We are pleased to offer this exceptional variety of beet seed. Also known as Lutz Green Leaf Beets or Winterkeeper Beets.
This is a superb winter keeping variety that does NOT get woody (pithy) as it grows up to 6" in diameter! A great multipurpose beet that can be eaten raw, cooked, pickled or roasted. This variety is well known for its sweet flavor AND for its superior tasting greens! Try the beet greens sauteéd with butter and garlic. Crimson-colored roots have a beautiful ring pattern.
Grown in Paonia, CO.
Planting Instructions: Plant beet seeds 1/2"-1" deep, 6-12" apart in spring. One seed produces multiple plants so thin as desired. Cold tolerant.
