Silverbeet Magenta Mix Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perBeta vulgaris
Magenta Mix is a colourful silverbeet distinguished by vivid magenta to pink stems and strongly coloured veins running through its green leaves. The intensity and shade of the magenta colouring can vary with the season, climate and growing conditions, giving plants a naturally varied appearance.
Tender young leaves are excellent in salads and baby leaf mixes, while mature leaves and stems can be steamed, sautéed or used in soups, pies and vegetable dishes. The striking stems also make an attractive edible garnish.
Slow to bolt and productive over a long harvest period, Magenta Mix performs best in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Silverbeet has been cultivated around the Mediterranean since ancient times and generally prefers cooler growing conditions.
Seed count: approximately 50–60 seeds per gram. Approximately 50 seeds per packet.
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: March–August
Subtropics: February–October

Planting / Sowing
Sow directly or raise seedlings for transplanting, approximately 1–2 cm deep. Space plants around 25–30 cm apart with 40–50 cm between rows. Keep well watered, particularly during hot or dry conditions.
Harvest individual outer leaves as required, leaving the central growing point intact for continued production. For baby leaf production, sow more densely and harvest young.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
