The UK's most popular swede. Good resistance to clubroot and powdery mildew. Sweet after frost.
Flavour
Sweet and earthy with a subtle nuttiness that intensifies after frost, offering a rich, rounded flavour.
In the kitchen
Ideal for slow roasting or smoking over fire, Marian swede caramelises beautifully, adding depth to BBQ platters and fire-cooked stews.
Growing
Robust against clubroot and powdery mildew, it thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture for best root development.
