Easy to grow, providing great winter crops of sweet and tasty purple skinned roots. This good quality variety is very winter hardy and has resistance to powdery mildew for healthy and reliable harvests.
Outdoors, sow thinly, May-July, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, rich, well-dug soil, which has already been watered. Allow 45cm (18") between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin out to 25cm (10") apart. Water well until plants are established. Make two or three successional sowings to provide a crop throughout the winter. Harvest: October-March. Roots may be left in the ground until required.
