Beetroot seeds — sweet, earthy Beta vulgaris

Beetroot is one of the most rewarding roots to grow — sweet, earthy and ready to roast, pickle or grate raw, with edible leaves as a bonus. From classic deep-red globes to golden and candy-striped types, browse the Beta vulgaris family within our root vegetable range. New to growing? Our vegetable growing guide covers the basics.

Sow little and often. Successional sowings give tender roots all season — the calendar shows the windows.

Roots and leaves

Beetroot is quick and forgiving enough to feature among our fast-growing vegetables, and the same Beta vulgaris family includes leaf beet and chard grown for our leafy greens. It sits happily alongside other roots like carrots and radishes.

Growing tender, sweet roots

Sow direct into well-prepared soil (our soil guide helps), thin to give the roots room, and keep them watered steadily so they don't turn woody. Pull while small and tender; our harvesting guide shows how to store the rest.

Growing for baby leaves too? Young beet leaves are a colourful, tasty addition to any salad bowl.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I sow beetroot?
From spring through midsummer, a little at a time for a steady supply of tender roots.

Why is my beetroot woody?
Usually grown too dry or left in the ground too long — water steadily and pull while small.

Can I eat the leaves?
Yes — young beetroot leaves are colourful and tasty in salads or wilted like spinach.

Do I need to thin beetroot?
Usually yes — each seed is a cluster, so thin the seedlings to give the roots room.

How do I store beetroot?
Twist off the leaves and store roots in boxes of sand, or pickle them for the cupboard.
