The Early Wonder Tall Top beet is known for its fast growth and dual-purpose nature, producing both flavorful roots and greens. The roots are dark red, smooth, and sweet, growing up to 3" in diameter. The tall, tender greens have a mild flavor and are perfect for sautéing or adding to salads. This variety is ideal for early-season planting due to its tolerance to cool temperatures, making it one of the first available harvests in the garden. Early Wonder Tall Top is prized by home gardeners and market growers for its high yields and resistance to foliar disease.
