Seeds of Scotland

Organic Beetroot - Jannis

£2.50

Beta vulgaris - approximately 200 seeds.

 

Classic globe-shaped deep purple beetroot with a sweet mild flavour. A newer selection of the famous 'Boltardy' variety from Kultursaat, bred for early production in organic and biodynamic growing conditions.  'Jannis' is versatile and reliable.  These tasty beetroots are a firm favourite of ours.  Grow an early crop for eating fresh or sow later for storage roots.  A great choice for the Scottish garden.


 

Growing Info

Sow in modules indoors in March/April and transplant 4/5 weeks later for an early crop. Alternatively direct sow outside from April/May onwards.  Sowings made in June/Early July should grow into good storage roots.

Tips: Don't forget to eat the leaves too.

What our customers say

Your seeds are just great! Always excellent germination rates. This is the second year we have had your Robinson peas which are really lovely and grow so well.

Lisa, Bridge of Allan

I thought you should know that your seeds have been wonderful. In an otherwise rubbish growing season, everything I bought from you has thrived. I’ve been eating purple mangetout and Carter’s Polish beans for weeks now and they’re still going strong.

Laura, North Kessock

Desert Spirit Landrace did exceptionally well in my polycrub here in the Western Isles - I even won the pumpkin growing competition that we put up for local growers and allotment holders.

Susanne, Isle of Lewis

I want to thank you for my Garden of Abundance. I’m a new gardener to Scotland and your seeds have given me such joy. I can hardly keep up with eating the rocket and I’ve planted my 2nd set of lettuce already.

Gay, Moray

My Black Isle broad beans are germinating after four days. How is that possible? ! Fab seed!

Janey, Highlands

I wanted to pass on the great success all of the seeds I bought from you have been.
Greatest success was ripe tomatoes (Scotland Yellow) on 7th of July - in Orkney!! Over two weeks later and none of my other varieties are even close to ripe.

Jenna, Orkney
