<p>An excellent item for both table and exhibition use. The exceptionally uniform, round, smooth skinned roots have an attractive rich red internal colouration and stand for a long period without becoming 'woody'. Very tasty.</p><p>For early crops choose a bolt-resistant variety and sow March to early April. For use in summer and autumn make successional sowings of suitable varieties from late April to July.
