FAQs

When to sow Beetroot Burpees Golden seeds?

Sow Beetroot Burpee's Golden seeds from March through to July for a long and rewarding harvest season. For the earliest crops, start seeds off indoors in module trays from February or March before transplanting outside, or sow directly into prepared ground from April onwards. Making successional sowings every few weeks ensures a continuous supply of fresh golden roots right through to autumn.

When is Beetroot Burpees Golden ready to harvest?

Beetroot Burpee's Golden is typically ready to harvest around 55 days after sowing, depending on the weather. For the best flavour and tenderness, aim to lift roots when they reach around three inches in diameter, using a fork to ease them gently from the ground without causing damage. If you prefer baby beets, harvest a little earlier for an exceptionally sweet and tender result.

What is meant by multigerm variety?

When a beetroot seed is described as multigerm, it means that each seed cluster is actually made up of several seeds fused together. This means that when one seed cluster germinates, it will produce multiple seedlings rather than just one. As a result, you will need to thin out the seedlings once they emerge, leaving the strongest plant to grow on.
