Golden Eye forms juicy, yellow balls that taste pleasantly fruity, mildly earthy and sweeter than beet. Their golden-yellow color is a feast for the eyes and does not stain too much. The beets are uniformly shaped, highly round and smooth-skinned.

Not frost resistant
Beet germinate after about 12-20 days at 10-20°C. Sensitive to night frosts. Water regularly. Medium grower, avoid overfertilization.
