Know before you buy
Avalanche beets are known for a mild, sweet flavor that lacks the strong earthy or bitter notes often found in traditional red beets. This makes them particularly enjoyable when eaten raw in salads or juiced.
The film coating and treatment process helps protect the seeds from soil-borne pathogens and improves germination rates. This makes the planting process more reliable and easier for home gardeners.
This hybrid variety was specifically bred for high resistance to Cercospora leaf spot. This trait significantly reduces the likelihood of foliage disease, making them a more resilient choice for your garden.
You can expect the Avalanche beets to reach maturity in approximately 50 days after sowing. Ensure your soil temperature is between 60-65°F to achieve the best germination results within the 7-14 day window.
These seeds are intended for direct sowing into your garden soil. Be sure to plant them at a depth of 0.5 to 0.75 inches and space them 2-4 inches apart to allow the roots enough room to develop.
