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 Moulin Rouge delivers rich colour, sweet flavour, and reliable yields in a beautifully pigmented crop. A standout choice for vibrant dishes and productive gardens.
