An improved Scarlet Supreme variety, the Red Ace beet is an outstanding hybrid that produces smooth, medium-sized roots with a consistent red colour. Renowned for its sweet flavour, this fast-growing beet retains its tenderness even when larger, making it ideal for both baby beets and mature harvests. The short, erect tops feature bright, shiny green leaves that add visual appeal in the garden.
Size: Mature plants reach about 12 to 18 in. tall with roots averaging 2 to 3 in. in diameter.
Yield: Each plant produces generous amounts of roots, perfect for multiple harvests throughout the season.
Taste: Mild and sweet, the flavour of Red Ace beets is delightful, whether consumed raw in salads or cooked.
How to use: Enjoy fresh in salads, roasted, or pickled. Red Ace is versatile in the kitchen and adds vibrant colour to any dish.
Planting tips: Sow seeds ½ in. deep in well-drained soil after the last frost, in a location that receives full sun. Space plants 4 to 6 in. apart to allow for root development.
Harvest tips: Harvest when roots are 2 to 3 in. in diameter for the sweetest flavour. Regularly check for readiness, as beets are best enjoyed when young and tender.
