Notes
'Boldor' beet (Beta vulgaris 'Boldor') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It takes 55 days to reach maturity, and it needs little care.
Pairs well with Bloomsdale spinach, Parris Island lettuce, and Giant of Italy parsley.
