Unit price perBeta vulgaris
Eldorado is an attractive golden-stemmed silverbeet with dark green, slightly savoyed leaves and vivid yellow petioles that hold their colour well when cooked. The stems remain firm yet tender, while the leaves have the mild, earthy flavour characteristic of chard.
A vigorous and productive variety with good resistance to bolting, Eldorado provides a long harvest period and can be grown for either baby leaf or mature stems and leaves. Both are excellent steamed, sautéed or added to soups, pies, pasta and vegetable dishes.
Silverbeet has been cultivated around the Mediterranean since ancient times and is remarkably adaptable, growing across a wide range of climates and soils. It performs particularly well in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH above 6.0 and regular moisture.
Seed count: approximately 50–60 seeds per gram.
Approximately 120 seeds per packet.
