This listing is for 450 premium Sugar Beet seeds (Beta vulgaris), approximately 1/2 ounce. These seeds are NON-GMO and open-pollinated. Sugar Beet, also known as Fodder Beet, Remolacha, or Betterave, is a versatile biennial root vegetable primarily cultivated for its high sucrose content in its large, conical taproot. Beyond sugar production, it is valued as a nutritious fodder crop for livestock and can be grown in home gardens for experimentation or as a unique addition.

**Growing Information:**
Sugar Beets thrive in deep, well-drained, loose soil with a neutral pH. They require a long growing season of approximately 90-100 days to maturity. For optimal root development, sow seeds directly in the garden 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost in spring, as they do not transplant well.

**USDA Hardiness Zones:** Grown as an annual in zones 2-11.
**Light Requirements:** Full sun (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily).
**Water Requirements:** Consistent moisture is key, especially during root development. Water deeply and regularly, approximately 1-2 inches per week, avoiding waterlogged soil.

Seeds are for the current growing season. Germination rates and success depend on local growing conditions, soil preparation, weather, and gardener care.
