How to grow Beetroot 'Perfect'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Perfect is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips. Perfect needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.5 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Growing Perfect from seed

Look to ensure a distance 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Perfect

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