'Merlin' beet prefers loose, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter and slightly acidic to neutral (pH between 6.0 and 7.0). Maintain consistent moisture to prevent roots from becoming fibrous and rotate crops to prevent disease.
Harvest the roots when they are between 5 and 8 cm in diameter to enjoy their tenderness and optimal flavor. Ideal for salads, cooked dishes or preserves, the 'Merlin' beetroot is distinguished by its natural sweetness and exceptional quality.
