Organic Candy Cane Beet Seeds

Known for their unique and striking candy-stripe interior (think vibrant peppermint candies) these farmers market favorites have a sweet, mild flavor. An heirloom variety from Italy, the Guardsmark strain was developed to be more resilient and uniform than standard Chioggia beets. If you’re planning to grow beets, this variety is hard to beat.   Organic, heirloom and non-GMO seeds  Plant directly in garden soil in full sun, during spring through early fall  Beets will have the best flavor and texture when grown in cooler weather  Matures in 55 days  For a continuous harvest, sow every 2-3 weeks   Check on beets often and harvest as soon as they stop increasing in size  Eat the greens too! Can be steamed and served with butter
