Early Wonder Tall Top beets adapt to all seasons but are especially good in early spring with quick growth in chilly soils. They produce tall, tasty green leaves with red stems and slightly flattened roots with wonderfully sweet flavour. Leaves and stems can reach 40-45cm (16-18"). Early Wonder Tall Top beets are a good variety for general table use. Grow as microgreens or baby leaf greens for salad mixes or enjoy the sweet round roots at full size. Be sure to thin the planted row to allow each root the room it needs to grow to full size.
