Beetroot Boltardy is a reliable and popular beetroot variety, ideal for home gardeners looking for early crops with dependable performance. Known for its good resistance to bolting, Boltardy is a strong choice for spring sowing and repeated sowings through the season.
The roots are smooth, round, and deep red, with a rich sweet flavour that works well in salads, roasting, pickling, juicing, and cooking. Young beetroot leaves can also be picked as baby leaves and added to mixed salads.
This variety is easy to grow and suitable for vegetable plots, raised beds, allotments, and larger containers.
