Lutz Green Leaf Beet Seeds (70 days)

Lutz Green Leaf is known for its long standing storage capabilities. Also known by many as "winterkeeper" beets.

Lutz has roots that are about 6" in diameter and can get much bigger without that woody taste.

They are reddish purple in color and have a sweet tender flavor. However, what Lutz Green Leaf is really known for is their giant, glossy green, pink stemmed tops that are mouth watering.

For winter storage, plant beet seeds the second week in July. Before the first freeze cover with mulch to protect from freezing. Harvest as needed.

Planting Tips For Beet Seeds:

Beet seeds can be planted in early spring or midsummer. Soak seeds overnight in damp towel before planting for excellent germination. Plant beet seeds 1” apart and thin weakest seedlings to desired spacing. Keep soil evenly moist to prevent beet roots from getting woody. For longer harvest, stagger beet plantings every 2-3 weeks.

Heirloom seeds are hardy but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - not letting the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely or overwatering and possibly having them rot.
