description_en: Genus of 5 or 6 species of rosette-forming perennials and biennials from grassland and seashores in Europe and the Mediterranean. They have ovate to triangular-ovate, glossy, light or mid-green or reddish purple basal leaves, and lance-shaped stem leaves produced on stout leaf-stalks. Spike-like cymes of insignificant green flowers are produced in summer, with flowering accelerated by hot, dry conditions. The most commonly cultivated species of beet are grown as annual vegetables or fodder plants (mangold, beetroot, and chard), forming massively swollen roots. Some selections of B. vulgaris subsp. cicla produce attractive, ornamental foliage, and are useful for summer and winter colour contrast in a mixed border or annual bedding scheme.

propagation_en: Sow seed in situ in early spring or late summer.
