Garden uses

Notes

'Chioggia' beet (Beta vulgaris 'Chioggia') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. 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 has an erect habit and grows at a moderate pace. It needs little care, which makes it an easy crop for beginners.

Pairs well with Lettuce, Cilantro, and Broccoli.
