WEST COAST SEEDS BEET CHIOGGIA

  • Chioggia Guardsmark Organic beet seeds are a striking Italian heirloom variety with light-red, smooth round roots and bright pink and white alternating rings inside.
  • These sweet beets are about 5cm (2 inches) in diameter with mild green leaves and pale red stems.
  • Interestingly, each red ring in the cross section of these beets represents one lunar month of growth.
  • Matures 65 in days (Open-pollinated seeds)

    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.

    These untreated seeds for organic growing are non-gmo. Matures in 65 days.
