This high yielding beet produces impressively uniform roots. Red Atlas has a very high sugar content of 12-15% and the deep red flesh shows subtle internal zoning. The upright plants grow to around 35cm (14") tall and are slow to bolt. Great for tops and processing, as well as for bunched beets at markets. They are moderately resistant to Downy and Powdery Mildew.

Direct sow 4 weeks after last frost to mid-summer. Beets will not produce roots if planted when the soil is too cold. Seeds will germinate in 5-12 days, depending on soil temperature. Optimal soil temperature: 10-26°C (50-80°F).
Sow 1cm (½”) deep, 5-10cm (2-4″) apart in rows 30-45cm (12-18″) apart.
