~ SWEDE Seed ~

We really like swede, as an easy-to-grow winter vegetable.
It's great either on its own, or mashed with potato too.




Champion Red Top
An ancient variety that is famously hardy, productive, and nutritious.

The roots are rounded and red on top. Pick it young when the roots are tender and sweet.

Pale root with red top.

Order SdCR - 1.5g (300 sd) for £1.49



'Collet Vert'
A long keeping variety chosen as being particularly good for kitchen use.

This one has rounded roots, a nice pale yellow colour, and green on top where exposed to light.

Yellow root with green top.

Order SdCV -1.5g (300 sd) £1.49



'Joan'
This variety was bred specially for home gardeners, by the Morton family. Joan is a great swede with yellow-fleshed sweet round roots that are purple on top.

We thought is was notably the best of the bunch in our 2008 trials. It has good club-root resistance too.

Not many available this year, order early.

Order SdJo -1.5g (300 sd) £1.54
