Wintersonne
Round, yellow beet Wintersonne has healthy foliage and upright leaves. The exterior colour is orange, while the interior is yellow with faint white rings. It grows slightly slower than red varieties and has smooth skin. Particularly suited for fresh and direct marketing. A notably sweet and aromatic taste. Also available as precision seed (calibrated).
Recommended alternative for beetroot Burpees Golden [G635], which has been discontinued from our range.
