Beta vulgaris

These seeds are carefully spaced in biodegradable paper to allow even spacing and virtually eliminate the need for thinning. This is undoubtedly the finest beet to sow early because of its resistance to bolting (running to seed). The flavour is delicious and the beets are evenly shaped with good colour and texture.
How To Grow
Sow seed tape sections at two weekly intervals for a continuous supply. Your first harvest will be ready around 12 weeks from sowing. Separate the strips and roll out onto prepared rows which are 5mm deep and 30cm apart. Place in full sun; cover with soil and keep moist.
