Avalanche Beet (F1 Hybrid 55 Days)

$ 3.50
New for 2026

White roots have a mild, sweeter flavor with much less of that earthy, beety taste than red ones, plus they don't leave any of those red stains behind on your fingers. Dependable, 2-3” round roots are quick and easy to grow and tolerant to Cercospora leaf spot for healthy, clean foliage.  Avalanche beet is a 2015 AAS Winner.

300 seeds

PLANTING

Beta vulgaris

Germination: 5-10 days

Germination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures 50-85ºF. Soaking the seeds overnight aids in germination.

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/2” deep

Starting Indoors: 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Sow 1-2 seeds per cell/pot. Thin to 1 seedling per cell/pot. Transplant outdoors when the first true leaves appear, 3” apart.

Sowing Outdoors: Early spring with soil temperatures at least 50ºF. Sow 1-2” apart, thin when plants are 2-4” tall, 3-4” apart. Germination is slower at lower soil temperatures.

How much does a packet plant: 20-25 foot single row  

Harvest: Begin picking at 1” for baby beets and up to 3” across for the most tender, and best tasting. For best storage, cut off the greens 2” above the top of the beet.

Tips: Avalanche Beet “seeds” are actually fruits that contain multiple seeds inside with several seedlings emerging from one seed. Use the thinned seedlings for beet greens or plant a heavily seeded row for baby beet greens. Beets need to grow rapidly and evenly by providing soil rich in organic matter and adequate moisture. Sow every 2 weeks for a continuous harvest.
