Rutabaga, Marian

85-95 days. A delicious and vigorous variety from the U.K., this Welsh-bred rutabaga was developed with the allotment garden in mind, which means it is well suited to compact growing spaces like the backyard garden. It is a tasty and reliable rutabaga with tolerance to club root and mildew. The yellow fleshed, purple tinged roots reach up to 8 inches in diameter and are well suited to late fall/winter harvest and storage.
