Notes

'Ruby Queen' beet (Beta vulgaris 'Ruby Queen') is a vegetable for container growing and the food garden, and it takes little upkeep. 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 soil. It grows in an erect habit at a moderate pace, so it fits well in a tidy row or a deep pot.

Pairs well with Great Lakes lettuce, Fern Leaf dill, and Peione parsley.
