Vegetable Seeds, McGregor's, Silverbeet Fordhook Green

Delicious, nutritious versatile greens - genius!

A traditionally popular variety with large green leaves and crisp white midribs.

• How to Sow: Choose a well-drained site in full sun. Sow these seeds in trays for subsequent transplanting or, after frosts, sow directly in a well prepared seedbed. Sow seeds 5 cm apart, in rows 60 cm apart and to a depth of 1 cm.
• Seedling Care: Keep the seedbed evenly moist during the germination period of 14-21 days. Apply vegetable fertiliser two weeks after germination for healthier plants and maximum crop. Protect your seedlings from slugs, snails and insect pests; go to mcgregors.co.nz for appropriate plant health and pest control products.
• Hints and Tips: Successive sowings provide a continuous supply. When outer leaves are large enough, snap off at the base of the plant.
• Our seeds are not treated with Neonicotinoids.
