Growing Information

Growing Crosby's Egyptian Heirloom Beet

‘Crosby’s Egyptian’ Beet is a German heirloom known for its early maturity, exceptionally sweet flavor, and distinctive flattened roots. The dark red beets develop mostly above the soil surface and maintain a tender texture without becoming tough or pithy.

Sow ‘Crosby’s Egyptian’ directly in the garden during the cooler temperatures of spring or fall. Plant seeds in loose, well-drained soil and keep the seedbed consistently moist while seedlings establish. Thin plants as they grow to give the roots enough room to size up evenly.

Harvest the roots while they are still tender and sweet, especially if you plan to use them fresh or in bunches. The compact tops make this variety particularly well suited for bunching and easy harvesting.

‘Crosby’s Egyptian’ beets are excellent for fresh eating, slicing, roasting, cooking, and preserving.
