A popular round beet for table and exhibition. Crisp, dark crimson roots of excellent texture. Growing Information For early crops sow March-early April. For use in summer and autu mn make successional sowings from late April to July. Store roots in dry sand, soil, or peat for winter use. (12-16 weeks maturity.) Sowing Information Choose a sunny site and sow thinly direct into finely rakes, moist, warm soil at a depth of 13mm in rows about 30cm (12") apart. Germination can take 10-14 days. Thin as necessary to leave 25-50mm (1-2") between plants. Grows best in good soil which has not recently been manured. Do not sow before April so avoiding the risk of plants running to seed (bolting). Make successional sowings so that young tender roots are always available. Show more
