Growing Information

Growing Merlin Hybrid Beet

‘Merlin’ Hybrid Beet is a high-performing variety known for exceptionally sweet flavor, smooth deep burgundy roots, and strong garden performance. Plants produce uniform, round roots about 3–4 inches across, topped by tall crimson stems and vigorous foliage.

Sow ‘Merlin’ directly in the garden during the cooler temperatures of spring or fall. Plant 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 develop evenly.

Harvest the roots at about 75 days, once they reach the desired size and are still smooth and tender. The roots develop a rich, full-bodied sweetness and maintain excellent texture at harvest.

‘Merlin’ offers strong bolt resistance and good resistance to a range of diseases, helping support reliable yields across varying growing conditions. The sweet roots are especially well suited for roasting, salads, side dishes, and pickling.

Seeds'n Such asked for a review so here it is: I planted seeds 30 days ago and not a beet seed has appeared in my watered, sunny raised bed. Maybe they're slow, but so far I'm not impressed.
