These beets present an aesthetic wonder with their diverse array of hues, ranging from deep crimson and golden-yellow to candy-striped, white, and vibrant orange. Beyond their ornamental appeal, these roots offer a mild, earthy flavor with varying degrees of sweetness, depending on the color variation.
The Five Color Rainbow beets showcase different tastes. While the red and candy-striped beets offer a classic beet flavor with earthy notes, the golden-yellow and white variants present a milder, sweeter taste. The orange beets often display a slightly tangy and sweet flavor, adding diversity to dishes and salads.
When planting these beets from seed, specific growing conditions are essential. Begin by sowing seeds directly into well-drained soil about 1/2 inch deep and spaced approximately 2 inches apart. Ensure the planting area receives full sun exposure for at least 6 hours a day, fostering healthy growth and vibrant root colors.
Consistent moisture is vital during the germination phase and throughout the growing season. Mulching helps retain moisture and regulates soil temperature. These beets thrive in cool weather and are suitable for both spring and fall planting, allowing for multiple harvests, and they're rich in nutrients, making them a colorful and flavorful addition to various dishes.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Beets are easily grown, though they prefer deep, loose soil and even, moderate water. Mulch once established to protect the roots from heat.
Planting & Growing: Soak seeds for at least 12 hours before planting to promote germination. Space 2" for greens, 3" for summer harvest beets, and 4" for storage growing beets. Tolerates light shade.
Harvesting & Storage: For best flavor, harvest roots while they are 1"-3". To minimize moisture loss in the roots, twist off the greens. Roots store well in humid, cool conditions. Greens should be eaten within 1 or 2 days of picking.

from 9231 reviewsThe cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
