Description

(Beta vulgaris). Another new variety from Semo Seeds in the Czech Republic. Boasting delectably dark purple flesh without the presence of white rings, these intriguing, long tapering roots are highly sought after by chefs for their exquisite taste, perplexing color, and uniform shape that makes them easier to slice and prepare. Its hardiness and reliability make it a fun and easy crop to grow for the whole family. We love these long, cylindrical beets!

Growing Tips: Renova beets are known for their uniform roots and tender greens, thriving in well-aerated, nutrient-rich soil. Keep soil moist but not soggy. Mulching helps maintain moisture and reduces weed competition. Regular thinning improves air circulation and root formation.

When to Grow

Direct sow Renova beet seeds in early spring, 2–4 weeks before the last frost date, or in late summer for a second crop. Cool-season conditions promote sweeter roots and better growth. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'

How to Sow and Plant

Soak seeds for 6–12 hours before sowing to boost germination. Plant ½ inch deep in rows spaced 12–18 inches apart. Sow seeds 1 inch apart, then thin to 2–4 inches apart once seedlings are established.

How to Grow

Water consistently to prevent tough roots and bolting. Thin seedlings early to give each plant ample space. Feed with compost tea or balanced organic fertilizer mid-season for healthy tops and well-developed roots.

How to Save Seeds

  • Renova beets are biennial—overwinter or replant mature roots in spring.
  • Choose the most robust, true-to-type roots for seed production.
  • Let plants flower and go to seed in their second year.
  • Harvest dry seed heads once fully brown and brittle.
  • Store cleaned seeds in a cool, dry place.

FAQ

Can I grow Renova beets in partial shade?

Yes, Renova beets tolerate partial shade, but they perform best with at least 6 hours of direct sun daily. Less sun may result in smaller roots and slower growth.

Why are my Renova beet seeds clumped together?

Each beet "seed" is actually a cluster containing multiple embryos. This is normal for Beta vulgaris. Be sure to thin seedlings early to ensure strong individual plants.

How do I know when Renova beets are ready to harvest?

Harvest Renova beets when roots reach 2–3 inches in diameter. Check by gently brushing away soil at the crown. Younger beets are more tender and flavorful.
