Growing Information

Growing Merlin Hybrid Beet

‘Merlin’ Hybrid is a high-performing beet prized for its exceptionally sweet flavor, smooth deep burgundy roots, and reliable garden performance. Plants produce uniform, round roots topped by tall crimson stems and vigorous upright foliage. Strong bolt resistance and good disease resistance help support dependable yields across a range of growing conditions.

Sow ‘Merlin’ directly in the garden about ½ inch deep during the cooler temperatures of spring or fall. Space plants 2 to 4 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 15 to 18 inches tall and perform best in loose, well-drained soil with consistent moisture as the roots develop.

Ready to harvest in about 75 days, begin pulling the 3- to 4-inch roots once they reach your preferred size while they are still smooth and tender.

Sweet, tender, and richly flavored, ‘Merlin’ is excellent 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.
