Swede Champion Purple Top are large, tender purple and cream roots with rich yellow flesh. A hardy variety that stores well. A classic Winter vegetable for soups and stews.
Sow direct where they are to grow. Cover with Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Firm down well and keep moist. Avoid overcrowding by thinning out and discarding excess seedlings when 4-5 weeks old. Sow into deep, well drained soil in a sunny position. Water well in early stages. Harvest roots while young and tender. Great companion plant for marjoram, peas and tomatoes. For best flavour, harvest after the first heavy Winter frosts. Germination 6 - 10 days | Maturity 12 - 16 weeks
