Beta vulgaris
Looking for a unique and interesting beet? Try this wonderful cross between a golden beet and a Chioggia beet. The beet population is still given a few parental golden and Chioggia, but it is now mostly composed of a lovely orange striped flesh beet with vigorous green leaf top and vibrant orange stem. The vigor of these beets is incomparable, and will perform well across seasons. Excellent way to provide farmer's market or CSA customers with mixed bunched beets from 1 planting.

Growing instructions
Direct sow 4 weeks after last frost to mid summer. Sow 5-10cm apart in row, 45cm apart, and 1cm deep. Full sun / part shade, cool season Biennial. Ideal soil pH of 6.0-6.8. Germination: 5-12 days. For uniformly sized beets, thin to 7-15cm apart when seedlings are 5cm tall. Harvest at any stage, but for best flavour, pull the beets as soon as they reach full size of about 8-10cm.
