Despite its Italian-sounding name, the variety is associated with France and became particularly well known through the great French seed house Vilmorin-Andrieux during the 19th century. It later crossed the Atlantic, appearing in American seed catalogues by the late 1800s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA classic main-season variety, San Valerio produces long, slender, deep orange roots with a crisp texture and rich, sweet, earthy flavour. The substantial roots are excellent for fresh eating and particularly good for juicing, as well as roasting, steaming, soups, stews and preserving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReliable and adaptable, San Valerio performs across a range of soils and is particularly well suited to cooler growing conditions. Its long roots develop best in deeply cultivated, loose, friable soil free from stones and fresh manure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 300 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Spring to autumn\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring to early autumn, avoiding periods of heavy frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly where plants are to grow, approximately 5–10 mm deep.
