Good beet, but takes a long time to bulb up. Listed at 80-85 days for full size beets. Longest season beet I have ever grown. Has some heat resistance , which came in handy with our late spring heating up. Not really suited to this climate, as I prefer beets to come on in mid spring and the vacate the space for summer crops.
