Beta vulgaris
Not only does the color of this beet make it stand apart, but so does the flavor. Golden beets are known for being extra sweet and less “earthy” than their red counterparts. Grown alongside red, white, and candy-striped beets, your harvest will create a playful plate of color at the table. Improved germination and performance over other golden cultivars. Leaf tops reach up to 12″-18″ tall. Golden-globe shaped roots are best at 1″–3″ round. Botanical Interests’® Touchstone Gold Beet Seeds are USDA Organic and have been verified by The Non-GMO Project.
85-90 days to maturity.
Outdoors: Sow 2-4 weeks before your average last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 45°F, ideally 60°–85°F, for early summer crop. 6-8 weeks before your average first fall frost date for late summer/fall crop. In mild climates, sow fall through winter.
Indoors: Not recommended. Root disturbance delays maturity.
