Swede 'Marian'

Swede 'Marian' is a highly regarded modern cultivar, celebrated for its excellent clubroot resistance, making it an ideal choice for gardens where this disease is an issue. It produces uniformly round, purple-topped, yellow-fleshed roots with a sweet, nutty flavour and good texture. This hardy root vegetable typically grows to about 30-40cm in height and spread. It thrives in a sunny position with firm, fertile, well-drained soil. 'Marian' is a reliable maincrop, traditionally sown in late spring to early summer for harvesting from autumn right through winter in the UK, providing a vital source of nutrients during colder periods.
