Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris
A truly multi-purpose variety, Lutz Green Leaf Beet is valued for both its superb greens and its large, sweet roots. This heirloom produces lush, glossy foliage that can be harvested as a delicious green, while its roots can grow to 15 cm wide without becoming woody. A perfect choice for gardeners who want a dual-purpose, high-yielding crop.
What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Beets thrive in sandy loam with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5.
Planting: For a continuous harvest, sow seeds 1.2 cm deep and 2.5 cm apart in two-week intervals, beginning when the soil has warmed to 7°C. Avoid sowing after mid-July. Germination takes 8-10 days.
Care: As each beet ‘seed’ contains 2 to 5 seeds within, it is important to thin the young seedlings to 7–10 cm apart to provide enough room for proper root formation. The thinned plants can be used as a source of tender, edible greens. Remember to fertilize. Over-watering or excessive rainfall may lead to excessive leaf growth and small roots. One packet sows approximately 6 m of row.
Approx. 300 seeds/pkt
