Beetroot Red Ace F1 Seeds - The Accidental Smallholder

Red Ace is a main crop variety of beetrooy  with round to oval high quality roots with a dark red colour.

The Red Ace's hybrid vigour makes it a very strong grower which will do well in most sites and soils; good in dry seasons. Sow from spring to early summer very thinly in drills 3cm (1in) deep in rows 30cm (12in) apart.

When seedlings are large enough to handle thin them out gradually to 10cm (4in) apart. The later thinnings will be large enough to use in a salad. Pull the beetroot when the roots are 1½ inches diameter or larger.

The smaller the roots the better the sweeter and higher quality - larger roots are prone to woodiness. In mid-autumn lift the remaining roots, twist off the tops and use or store in a clamp as you would potatoes.
