🔹 Unique Flat Roots, Precocity & Superior Scent
- Distinctive Geometry: Generates uniform, round-flat shaped roots (10-12 cm wide) that sit prominently above the soil line for a comfortable harvest.
- Ultra-Early Growth: As a highly precoce variety, it offers a swift cultivation cycle, cutting down the waiting period compared to standard globe varieties.

📋 Sowing & Easy Growing Instructions:
- Sowing Calendar: Can be planted successively from February to October, adapting flawlessly to spring, summer, and early autumn garden layouts.
- Soil & Location: Thrives comfortably in deep, loose, light, stones-free, well-drained fertile soils rich in humus. It prefers direct full sun exposure but reliably tolerates partial shade.
- Sowing Technique: Place 3-4 seeds per hole at a depth of 0.5-1 cm directly into your beds. Upon sprouting (9-10 days), thin out weaker shoots to establish a definitive spacing framework of 20 cm between crops and 40 cm between rows.
- Watering: Supply frequent, regular irrigation to sustain even soil dampness, keeping the beet crop tender, juicy, and preventing woody fiber development.
