Silverbeet Eldorado Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perBeta vulgaris
Eldorado is an attractive golden-stemmed silverbeet with dark green, slightly savoyed leaves and vivid yellow petioles that hold their colour well when cooked. The stems remain firm yet tender, while the leaves have the mild, earthy flavour characteristic of chard.
A vigorous and productive variety with good resistance to bolting, Eldorado provides a long harvest period and can be grown for either baby leaf or mature stems and leaves. Both are excellent steamed, sautéed or added to soups, pies, pasta and vegetable dishes.
Silverbeet has been cultivated around the Mediterranean since ancient times and is remarkably adaptable, growing across a wide range of climates and soils. It performs particularly well in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH above 6.0 and regular moisture.
Seed count: approximately 50–60 seeds per gram.
Approximately 120 seeds per packet.
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: March–August
Subtropics: February–October
Mild climates: February–November
Cold climates: August–April
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.
Maturity: approximately 28–33 days for baby leaf.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.

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.
