Beetroot Seeds 'Boltardy'

Beetroot is a rewarding crop, producing vibrant roots full of flavour and nutrients. Quick to grow and easy to manage, it provides a steady harvest from summer into autumn. Enjoy it roasted, pickled, fresh in salads, or use the young leaves as a tasty addition to dishes. Beetroot also stores well, so you can enjoy homegrown goodness long after the season ends.

Outdoor Sowing

Sow seeds from spring until mid-summer, thinly in drills. For multigerm seeds, thin Professional Grower Plugs to 10cm apart once large enough. Monogerm seeds produce one seedling each and need no thinning.

Beetroot thrives in fertile soil, so enrich beds with organic matter before sowing. Water regularly in dry spells to reduce bolting. Space rows 30cm apart and sow seeds 3cm deep for best results.

Companion Planting

Companion plants can help boost beetroot growth and deter pests:

• Lettuce & Spinach – provide shade and retain soil moisture
• Marigolds – deter aphids and nematodes
• Onions & Garlic – naturally repel pests
• Dwarf Beans – fix nitrogen, supporting strong growth

Harvesting

Pick young leaves and thinnings for salads or stir-fries. Roots are nutrient-rich and versatile: cook, pickle, or slice raw for salads and barbecues. Regular picking encourages fresh growth and a longer harvest window.
