How to grow Beetroot 'Moulin Rouge'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Moulin Rouge is thought of as half hardy, so it will require protection in 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 Moulin Rouge likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Growing Moulin Rouge from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between Beetroot plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Moulin Rouge

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