Beet | Chioggia Candy Cane

Matures Early, Mild flavour

The globular, dark red roots with alternating rings of white and red inside make this Italian heirloom variety tender and delicious. They are wonderful eaten fresh, canned, or pickled. The reddish-green leaves also make good-tasting greens. Prefer cool weather.

Direct sow in early spring as soon as soil is workable
