description

Organic Biomix Beet (Beta vulgaris ‘Biomix’) is a colorful organic beet blend that produces red, yellow, pink, white, and sometimes beautifully striped roots for harvests that are both decorative and delicious. Its dark green foliage adds structure to the vegetable garden, while the diverse roots create a spectacular display on the plate. Easy and quick to grow, it can be harvested in about 50 days after sowing. In the kitchen, Biomix Beets are excellent in salads, roasted, steamed, pickled, preserved, and the young greens can also be enjoyed fresh or sautéed.

Sow Organic Biomix Beet directly in the garden from May through July in full sun to partial shade. It prefers loose, cool, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH, enriched with well-rotted compost to encourage even root development. Cover seeds with 1 to 2 cm (0.4 to 0.8 in) of soil, keep moisture consistent until germination, then thin seedlings to about 15 cm (6 in) apart. Water regularly throughout the season to produce tender roots, reduce cracking, and prevent a fibrous texture, especially during hot weather.

In the garden, Organic Biomix Beet is perfect for vegetable gardens, edible borders, ornamental kitchen gardens, and deep containers at least 30 cm (12 in) deep. Its range of colors creates attractive harvests while maximizing diversity in a small space. It pairs well with Garlic, which is a beneficial companion, while Pole Beans and Mustard are best planted elsewhere. If roots are overwintered into their second year, the flowers attract several beneficial insects. Productive, versatile, and enjoyable to grow, Beta vulgaris ‘Biomix’ enriches both the garden and the kitchen.

Soil
and care

ExposureFull sun to partial shade

Soil

Loose, cool, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Light, fertile soil encourages uniform root development.

Soil pHSlightly acidic to neutral

Watering

Keep the soil evenly moist to produce tender, uniform roots. Consistent watering helps prevent cracking and reduces the development of tough, fibrous roots.

Fertilization

Incorporate well-rotted compost before sowing to improve soil structure and harvest quality. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which promotes foliage growth at the expense of root development.

Care levelEasy

Keep the soil evenly moist with regular watering to encourage tender roots. Weed as needed to reduce competition, and thin seedlings after emergence. Harvest roots progressively as they reach the desired size. Mulch helps conserve moisture during periods of hot weather and maintains steady growth.
