How to Germinate Beetroot Ruby Queen

How to Germinate Beetroot Ruby Queen (Beta vulgaris)

  • Sow beetroot seeds directly outdoors 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost date in early spring.
  • Soak seeds in water for 12 hours before planting to enhance germination rates.
  • Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 2-4 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
  • Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil, rich in organic matter.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, usually within 7-14 days.
  • Once seedlings reach a few inches in height, thin them to 3-4 inches apart to allow room for root development.

Additional Tips

  • Beetroot Ruby Queen prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade in warmer climates.
  • Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, which helps prevent woody or split roots.
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer once seedlings are established to support healthy root and foliage growth.
  • Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
  • Harvest when the roots are about 2-3 inches in diameter for optimal flavor and tenderness.
