Latin Beta vulgaris
The Merlin Beet is a high-sugar, deep red variety known for its exceptional sweetness and smooth texture. It has a rich, earthy flavour and is perfect for roasting, boiling, or using in salads. This variety is highly productive and grows well in various climates, making it a favourite among home gardeners and farmers alike. With its uniform shape and disease resistance, the Merlin beet is an excellent choice for those looking for a reliably sweet and nutritious root vegetable.
To grow Merlin beets, sow seeds about ½ inch deep and 2-4 inches apart in rows spaced 12 inches apart. Thin seedlings once they sprout to ensure proper spacing for larger, uniform beets. Beets prefer cooler temperatures, so plant them in early spring or late summer for the best results. Harvest when roots reach 2-3 inches in diameter for the sweetest flavour.
