Baby Leaf Varieties
Space saving quick crops. Many are suitable for a long season of production. Add variety and flavours to your salads with a changing selection of produce.

We have moved this variety to the baby leaf section because it is, after all, the primary reason for growing it! The bold deep burgundy colour and sweet flavour make it a stunning addition to your salads. Harvested after just 5 weeks, and if you keep them moist they will resprout for a second salad cut. Below are the dark red roots, full of flavour with an attractive striped interior; pull after 6 weeks or so lovely mini beets but they are very slow to put on any more bulk than this. For beetroot roots turn to the main beetroot section. Price for 50 seeds |
