Discover the unique beauty and flavour of Kew VegeTable Beetroot 'Chioggia', a stunning Italian heirloom variety renowned for its vibrant, concentric pink and white rings. This striking beetroot not only adds a splash of colour to your vegetable patch but also offers a sweet, mild flavour that is perfect for roasting, pickling, or enjoying raw in salads. Known for its smooth texture and tender roots, Chioggia is a must-have for gardeners seeking both an eye-catching and delicious addition to their harvest.
Sowing Instructions:
Sow Beetroot 'Chioggia' seeds directly outdoors in well-drained, fertile soil once the risk of frost has passed, typically in early spring. Space the seeds about 2-3 cm apart and cover them lightly with soil. Ensure that the soil is kept consistently moist, but well-drained, as beetroots thrive in soil that is not too wet. Thin the seedlings to 10 cm apart once they have reached a few inches in height to give them room to develop their roots. Beetroots prefer a sunny location but can tolerate partial shade in hotter climates.
This variety of beetroot is particularly known for its early maturity, and you’ll start seeing results in as little as 8-10 weeks. The sweet, tender bulbs are perfect for a variety of dishes, while the vibrant pink and white striped interior makes a beautiful addition to your plate. Not only are Chioggia beetroots visually striking, but they are also packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them an excellent choice for health-conscious gardeners. Whether you're a seasoned grower or new to vegetable gardening, Kew VegeTable Beetroot 'Chioggia' will add both colour and nutrition to your garden and your table.
