Growing Tips for New Zealand

Beetroot grows best in a sunny spot with free-draining, fertile soil. Direct sow seeds 1–2 cm deep in rows 30 cm apart, thinning seedlings to 10 cm once established. Water regularly and consistently — uneven watering can cause the beets to split. Bonny Baby performs well throughout most of NZ, sown from spring through to early autumn.
