The most ornamental of all beetroots, with spectacular crimson-veined leaves

We use this as a filler with tulips in pots and borders for our parterre in spring. We eat the leaves like spinach, using the baby leaves in salad and steaming the fully grown for wilted greens and we harvest the roots too. A hugely useful, multipurpose ornamental and edible plant.

Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.

Soak seed in warm water for half an hour before sowing. Sow into gutters from March or direct sow every 3-4 weeks from early April-July. Sow thinly in rows with a row gap of 30cm (12in), or sow in blocks. Thin to 5-6cm (2in).

Care Tips

Don't water unless soil is very parched, over-watering encourages leaf at the expense of root. Fantastic planted with chamomile, onions and lettuce.
