Growing Guides

TWEED

British-bred and one of the first hybrid swedes, it is early and vigorous, producing uniformly round, purple shouldered roots with a delicious, cream-coloured flesh. Performs better than other swedes on less fertile soils.
INVITATION

A strong-growing, Club Root resistant swede which also benefits from Powdery Mildew resistance and improved winter hardiness over other varieties.
BRILLIANT

Smooth roots with beautiful white flesh which does not discolour. Also known as Turnip Rooted Celery, it will add a delicious tangy taste to soups and stews. Maturing time approximately 30 weeks from sowing.
AQUILES

Can be over-wintered if desired for an extra early crop of top class, tightly domed heads. Aquiles F1 can also be planted closer together than many other varieties, making the most of garden space. Once the central head is cut, delicious smaller side shoots are produced.
