Beetroot Plant 'Pablo F1'
Availability: In stock
Beetroot plants are a true favourite among home gardeners due to their ease of cultivation, strong disease resistance, and ability to produce consistently high-quality crops. An exceptional variety from our hand-picked collection, 'Pablo F1' boasts smooth, uniform, rounded roots with rich dark-red flesh that are ready to harvest from mid-summer through autumn. The foliage remains attractive throughout the season and can be harvested as tender salad leaves when young. Perfect for roasting, steaming and adding to salads, but also amazing when planted in traditional vegetable plots or decorative raised beds, these plants are truly versatile.
Thriving in a sunny position, although tolerating light shade, 'Pablo F1' prefers fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil and benefits from a sheltered growing location. Regular watering during dry spells helps maintain tender, evenly sized roots, while minimal maintenance is required beyond occasional weeding. Harvest young roots for sweet baby beetroot or allow them to mature for larger crops suitable for storage. Companion planting with nasturtium and lavender can help deter common pests while making efficient use of growing space.
