Beetroot 'Chioggia' - Beta Vulgaris

650 seeds

Sow Outdoors: Start sowing seeds 2–4 weeks before the last frost in well-drained, fertile soil. Space the seeds about 1 inch apart and cover lightly with soil.

Germination: Keep the soil consistently moist. Germination typically occurs within 7–14 days.

Thinning: Once seedlings have grown, thin them out to 3–4 inches apart to allow space for the roots to develop.

Sunlight and Care: Plant in full sun with rich, well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Beetroots grow best in cool temperatures, so they are great for spring and fall.

Chioggia is an Italian heirloom variety known for its striking red-and-white striped interior, adding a unique visual element to dishes.
