Beetroot 'Ruby Red'

Ruby Red likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Ruby Red is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Ruby Red needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.5 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.74 inches (1.9 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 4°C / 39°F.

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

Ruby Red is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
