An attractive Italian heirloom variety with concentric rings of rose-red and white
Features: Lift young as 'baby beets' or leave to mature.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 2.5cm (1") deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1') between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Thin seedlings to 10cm (4") apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings made every three weeks should ensure a continuous supply of young beets. Harvested roots can be stored in dry sand for winter use.
Soil Type: Well cultivated, fertile soil
Hints & Tips: When boiled the distinctive rings fade to leave attractive pink roots. The colour is better preserved by roasting.
