Dolce Di Chioggia is a beautiful scarlet garden beet. This Italian specialty is a wonderful variety with attractive coloring that features interior rings of reddish-pink and white. The tops can be used as fresh greens in salads, or steamed for a cooked vegetable. The roots can be canned, pickled, or frozen.

Starting Beet Seeds

  • Direct sow 4 weeks after last frost to mid-summer.
  • Beets will not produce roots if planted when the soil is too cold.
  • Seeds will germinate in 5-12 days, depending on soil temperature.
  • Optimal soil temperature: 10-26°C (50-80°F).

    Companion Planting For Beets

  • Beets add minerals to the soil. The greens are very good for the compost. Plant with bush beans, Brassicas, corn, garlic, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, and mint. Add cut mint leaves as a mulch for beets.
  • Avoid planting beets near pole beans, as the nitrogen fixed by the beans may encourage leafy beet growth and diminished root development.
