Beetroot Plants
Beetroot is surprisingly easy to grow - this sweet, earthy root vegetable can be planted in autumn and left to overwinter, ready for harvests in summer and beyond. With improved disease resistance and heavy cropping built in, all of ours are specially selected by our Lancashire growers for taste, performance and suitability for the UK climate, wherever you live.
Which beetroot should I choose?
If you’re just starting out, we recommend choosing Darko, a classic, easy to grow beetroot. But why stop there? Mix it up with golden Boldor, stripy Chioggia and more. Our colourful mixed beetroot pack is the best way to grow a selection of the best gourmet beets to brighten up both your plot and your plate.
Growers' tips
Beetroot can be planted in spring for a continuous crop from summer into autumn or started in autumn and left to overwinter ready for harvests the following summer. Grow them in raised beds, borders or pots - they’re compact enough to slot in alongside your other vegetables. Give them plenty of sun, feed with a seaweed fertiliser and pull them up when they’re small and tender, about the size of a golf ball.
Using your beetroot
When your beetroot is ready, make it into purple hummus, roast it in tarts with red onion or make a gratin with sweet potato and pumpkin. Grate it raw in salads or juice it and mix with apple and ginger for a rich, nutrient-packed drink. Did you know you can also use the leaves in salads or steamed like spinach? Use up a bumper crop by pickling or making chutney.
