Beetroot 'Five Colour'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Five Colour is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. Five Colour needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.5 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

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

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