Beetroot Red River F1 Seeds produce deeply coloured, sweet roots from June to October. Hardy and easy to grow, they bring vibrant colour to your garden and kitchen, while Fothergill's high-quality seeds ensure a reliable and memory-making experience.

Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 2.5cm deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 30cm between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Thin seedlings to 10cm apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings made every three weeks should ensure a continuous supply of young beets. Harvested roots can be stored in dry sand for winter use. Do not cut the leaves, but twist them off to prevent the colour ‘bleeding’. Young leaves are also edible and can be cooked like spinach
