Early Wonder Beet – The Fastest Growing Heirloom for Sweet Roots and Superior Greens


If you are looking to get a head start on your garden harvest, the Early Wonder Beet is the variety for you. True to its name, this heirloom is prized for its rapid growth, often reaching maturity a full week before other varieties. At The Seed Guy, we especially love Early Wonder because it is a "dual-purpose" champion. While it produces beautiful, deep-red 3-inch globes, it is most famous for its "tall tops"—the lush, green leaves that are widely considered the best-tasting beet greens in the world.

Because it germinates so well in cool soil, it is the perfect choice for the very first planting of spring or the last planting of autumn. Any vegetable that can go from seed to table while providing both a stunning visual and incredible flavor is a gardener's dream, and Early Wonder delivers a quick, reliable crop every time. Whether you are sautéing the nutrient-dense greens or roasting the sweet, tender roots, this variety is a must-have for the early-season gardener.

Early Wonder Beet Planting Instructions:

1. Timing: Early Wonder lives up to its name by thriving in cool weather. Plant in full sun as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring.

2. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep. Since each "seed" is a cluster, you must thin the seedlings to 3-4 inches apart once they reach 2 inches tall to allow the roots to expand.

3. Care: Provide consistent water. Early Wonder grows fast, so it needs steady moisture to keep the roots tender and prevent them from becoming tough or woody.

4. Harvesting: You can begin harvesting the greens when they are just a few inches tall for salads. Harvest the roots when they reach 2-3 inches in diameter for peak sweetness.

5. Pests & Disease: Generally very hardy, but watch for leaf miners on the greens. Proper spacing and crop rotation will help keep your Early Wonder crop healthy and productive.
