Beetroot 'Winter Keeper'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Winter Keeper is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.5 and 7.0 as Winter Keeper likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Winter Keeper about 14 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Winter Keeper is a half hardy plant.
