‘Merlin’ is one sweet treat of a beet. Remarkably smooth, uniform, 2-3" round, scarlet roots are marvels of sweet, earthy flavor and nutrition. Topped by glossy, tasty dark-green leaves, ‘Merlin’ sets a new standard for beet sweetness, thanks to its high sugar content. Roasted, baked, or boiled, ‘Merlin’ excels in salads, borscht, and as jewel-toned co-star to fish or meat. Good resistance to leaf spot/fungus.
