Notes

'Golden Beet' (Beta vulgaris 'Golden Beet') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Bees and butterflies visit it, and it needs little care once it is growing.

Pairs well with Cherry Belle radish, Garlic, Basil, and Nasturtium.
