A native of the European seashore, Beta vulgaris was grown and selected for different characteristics – one for a leaf crop (known as Silverbeet), another for its edible roots (Beetroot), and another, as stock feed (Mangelwurzel). A seaside native, beetroot is tolerant of salty conditions, but prefers a rich soil with excellent drainage and a pH of 6.5-7.0. A clustered seed, thinning is essential for good root development, but don’t waste those plants, they can be used in salads.
