Enjoy the Taste and Versatility of Swede Marian in your Winter Meals!
Introducing Swede Marian! This purple top variety features paler yellow flesh and a uniform shape, making it a standout winter root vegetable. Hardy and resilient, it boasts good resistance to club root and mildew. Marian stores exceptionally well in a frost-free shed with dry sand, providing a reliable food source throughout the winter. Whether mashed with carrots or enjoyed on its own with melted butter, Swede Marian is a firm favourite and simply delicious!
