Beetroot Golden Eye Seeds

Beetroot Golden Eye Seeds – Irish Plants Direct

 

Beetroot Golden Eye (Beta vulgaris) is a striking and sweet flavoured variety producing smooth, round roots with vibrant golden-yellow flesh. Unlike traditional red beetroot, Golden Eye doesn’t bleed when cut or cooked, making it ideal for colourful salads, roasting, and pickling. Its mild, earthy flavour and tender texture appeal to gourmet gardeners and adventurous cooks alike.

 

 

Thriving in fertile, well drained soil, Beetroot Golden Eye flourishes in full sun and offers excellent uniformity and bolt resistance. The bright green tops are also edible, adding versatility to your harvest and visual interest to garden beds.

Sowing Instructions

 

Outdoors:

Sow seeds thinly in rows 2 cm deep and 30 cm apart from March to July. Water regularly and thin seedlings to 10 cm spacing once established. Harvest when roots are golf-ball to tennis-ball sized for best flavour and texture.

 

Successional Sowing:

Sow every 3–4 weeks for a continuous supply. Later sowings can be lifted and stored for winter use. Remove any woody or oversized roots to maintain quality.

 

Beetroot Golden Eye brings bold colour, mild flavour, and culinary versatility to the garden. A standout choice for fresh dishes, preserves, and vibrant plating.
