Discover the exceptional qualities of Beta vulgaris 'Early Wonder,' a celebrated beet variety dating back to 1911. Perfectly suited for early spring plantings, 'Early Wonder' beets promise a versatile harvest and quick maturation, offering delectable greens and roots that are ready in just 40 days. This variety thrives in fertile, well-drained soil and adapts seamlessly to a range of climates, making it ideal for home gardeners and farmers alike.

Key features of 'Early Wonder' include its early maturity, allowing for extended growing seasons, and its lush, 18" nutrient-dense greens that are rich in vitamins A and C, iron, and potassium. The tender, sweet roots have a slightly flattened shape and smooth texture, perfect for salads, pickles, or roasting.

For optimal growth, sow seeds directly into the ground 2-4 weeks before the last frost, or in late summer for a fall harvest. Remember to thin seedlings and enjoy baby greens when they reach 4-6 inches. Harvest full-sized roots when 1 to 3 inches in diameter.
