- Species and varieties: The summer red beet, also known as Beta vulgaris, is a popular root vegetable known for its deep red color and sweet flavor. Common varieties include 'Detroit Dark Red', 'Red Ace', and 'Cylindra'.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Summer red beet seeds are available in both hybrid and heirloom varieties. Heirloom varieties like 'Detroit Dark Red' are prized for their consistent flavor and historical significance, while hybrid varieties like 'Red Ace' are often bred for disease resistance and uniformity.
- Pruning and training: Beets do not require pruning or training. However, thinning the seedlings to about 3 inches apart once they reach 2 inches in height is essential to ensure proper root development.
- Fertilization needs: Beets benefit from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting time. A 10-10-10 (N-P-K) fertilizer is recommended. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to lush foliage at the expense of root development. Side-dress with compost or a balanced fertilizer midway through the growing season for optimal growth.
- Hardiness zones: Summer red beets can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 2 through 10. They are quite versatile and can adapt to a wide range of growing conditions.
- Climate requirements: Beets thrive in cool weather and are best planted in early spring or late summer. They require full sun and well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Beets can tolerate light frost, making them suitable for cooler climates.
