Beetroot 'Scarlet Charlotte'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Scarlet Charlotte is thought of as half hardy, so it will need protecting in periods of cold weather. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.5 and 7.0 as Scarlet Charlotte likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Aim to sow 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 13°C / 55°F to ensure good germination.

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

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