Description
A popular variety of silverbeet that is grown for its full flavoured, crinkled dark green leaves and contrasting white stalks. Easy and quick growing producing an ample crop.
Silverbeet is easy to grow in the right spot. It will thrive in a partially sunny spot (about 3 to 4 hours sun per day), protected from the wind. It should be protected from the hot sun, so consider a shade cloth tent, or planting under taller crops like sweet corn. Leave about 30cm between each plant.
Being leafy vegies, silverbeet will respond incredibly well to regular feeds of a seaweed fertiliser such as Maxicrop . Apply every month to keep your silverbeet happy and preventing them from setting seed too early. Never let it dry out, they need consistent moisture to remain pest and problem free. A deep soaking, several times a week is ideal.
Snails and slugs are LOVE silverbeet, so its best to sprinkle some snail pellets around them for safe keeping.
