Beetroot 'Blankoma'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Blankoma is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected 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.

Ensure a distance of 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 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 Blankoma about 14 days before your last frost date.

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