Lucullus is a productive heirloom silverbeet renowned for its large, crumpled light green leaves and broad white stems. Highly regarded for its fine flavour and tender texture, it is an excellent all-purpose leafy vegetable for steaming, sautéing, soups, quiches and pasta dishes. This vigorous variety is heavy yielding and performs particularly well in warmer weather, providing a long harvest season when outer leaves are picked regularly.

Approximately 55 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)

Planting / Sowing
Sow seed 15–20 mm deep in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination.

Harvest the outer leaves as required from approximately 45–60 days, leaving the centre intact to encourage continuous production.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
