Beetroot 'Moneta'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Moneta is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips. Ensure your soil is loamy and has a ph of between 6.5 and 7.0 as Beetroot is a weakly acidic soil to neutral soil loving plant.

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 Moneta about 14 days before your last frost date.

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