Description: Egyptian Beetroot is an early variety of Beetroot. Egyptian Beetroot seeds produce beetroot with a nice sweet taste. They can be preserved once harvested.
Seed Origin: Netherlands
Sowing: March to July
Harvesting: June to November
How To Grow Beetroot From Seed: Sow the seeds in a prepared drill, planting 2 seeds together every 10cm. Cover with soil. When the seedlings establish, thin to leave only the strongest seedling in place. Keep the growing site weed free.
Your beetroot will be ready to harvest when the roots are somewhere between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball.
If you have limited space, this round beetroot can also be grown in pots.
Sow in succession every couple of weeks to have a steady harvest throughout the year.
Seed count is approximate.

Customer Reviews
Been growing this variety for a few years now. The beets taste great and the seeds always germinate well, one pack keeps me in beets for the whole summer.
Beetroot usually germinate easily and most seeds come good but these have not, 50% germination at very best so disappointing
