Beetroot Moneta Seeds

Beetroot Moneta Seeds – Irish Plants Direct

 

Beetroot Moneta (Beta vulgaris) is a fast growing, monogerm variety that produces smooth, round roots with deep red flesh and excellent flavour. Unlike traditional beetroot types, Moneta forms only one seedling per cluster reducing the need for thinning and making it ideal for efficient sowing in raised beds, containers, and allotments.

 

 

Thriving in fertile, well drained soil, Beetroot Moneta flourishes in full sun and offers uniform growth, early maturity, and reliable yields. Its sweet, earthy flavour is perfect for roasting, pickling, or enjoying raw in vibrant salads. The tender green tops are also edible and rich in nutrients.

Sowing Instructions

 

Outdoors:

Sow seeds thinly in rows 2 cm deep and 30 cm apart from March to July. Water regularly and space seedlings 10 cm apart once established. Monogerm seeds reduce thinning, making sowing quicker and more efficient.

 

Successional Sowing:

Sow every 3–4 weeks for a continuous supply. Later sowings can be lifted and stored for winter use. Harvest when roots are golf-ball to tennis-ball sized for best flavour and texture.

 

 

Beetroot Moneta offers early cropping, minimal thinning, and rich flavour in a space saving, easy-to-grow root vegetable. A smart choice for productive gardens and fresh summer dishes.
