Beetroot '2-Bolivar'

2-Bolivar likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that 2-Bolivar is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips. 2-Bolivar requires a loamy soil with a ph of 6.5 - 7.0 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

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 2-Bolivar about 14 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as 2-Bolivar is a half hardy plant.
