Rainbow Blend Showstopper Beet
Growing Rainbow Blend Showstopper Beet
‘Rainbow Blend Showstopper’ is a colorful beet mix prized for its wide range of root, stem, and foliage colors. This eye-catching blend includes icy white, red-and-white ringed, deep yellow, pink-and-white ringed, and warm purple-red roots, creating a varied and vibrant harvest.
Start ‘Rainbow Blend Showstopper’ indoors about ½ inch deep and transplant into the garden during the cooler temperatures of spring or fall. Space plants 2 to 4 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 12 to 14 inches tall and perform best in loose, well-drained soil with consistent moisture as the roots develop.
Ready to harvest in about 52 to 58 days, begin pulling the 1½-inch roots once they reach your preferred size while they are still crisp and tender. Because this is a blend, individual roots will vary in color, shape, and appearance.
Colorful, tender, and versatile, ‘Rainbow Blend Showstopper’ is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, salads, roasting, cooking, and using the edible tops as a cooked green.
