I haven't grown the real Lutz. Fedco is generally an organization I personally trust to sell "true" Lutz beet seed. They tend to have a strong commitment to keeping all of their seed "true" to form, and are honest in their catalog when a crop failure occurs and the "true" seed isn't available. But even then, it is never a certainty the seed is 100% true.

Sandhill sells a Lutz beet, but say in the description that it isn't "true" seed, so it must be very difficult to find "true" Lutz beet seed.
