Seabeet
Price
€6.95
Sea Beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima) is the wild ancestor of beetroot and chard, a tough coastal perennial offered here as a small-medium potted plant. It forms low clumps of glossy, dark green, fleshy leaves that can be picked much like spinach or chard, with a mild, earthy flavour good in soups, stir-fries and cooked greens. Naturally at home on windswept, salt-sprayed shorelines, it tolerates poor, sandy or exposed soils that would trouble most leafy vegetables, and produces unassuming spikes of small greenish flowers in summer. A hardy, resilient perennial green well suited to coastal gardens, food forests and low-input growing across Ireland and the UK.

Growing Instructions
Grow in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil; Sea Beet tolerates poor, sandy and salt-exposed conditions better than most vegetables, though it also thrives in an ordinary garden bed. Water while young plants establish, though once settled it copes well with dry spells. Harvest outer leaves regularly to encourage fresh growth through the season. Cut back flowering stems if you prefer to keep the plant compact and leafy.

Frequently asked questions
Where do you ship?
We ship to all EU countries. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location and the plant's size and weight.
What if my plant arrives damaged or doesn't make it?
Get in touch within 48 hours of delivery with a photo and we'll sort it out, whether that's a replacement or a refund. Bear in mind plants can look stressed after travelling (a little wilting or leaf drop is normal) and usually perk up within a few days once planted and watered.
Are your plants grown organically?
Yes, every plant. No pesticides, no herbicides, no fungicides, no synthetic fertilisers, ever. Further than that, we use regenerative agricultural practices. We feed the soil with natural local materials (wood chips, leaves, grass clippings, coffee grounds, sheep's wool) and grow in polycultures the way nature does, supporting wildlife and local biodiversity through our practices.
Will this grow where I live?
All of the plants sold on our website should grow in any country across Europe. However, On every property there will be variations in soil quality, type and structure so it is up to you to find the appropriate places within your property for each plant. Visit our blog for growing tips and information on this, and feel free to ask us for advice!
How will my order be packaged?
Plastic-free, always. No bubble wrap, no polystyrene, no plastic tape. Everything travels in brown paper, cardboard, leaves, or straw, materials that return to the earth. Your plants are packed snugly so they don't shift in transit.
When will my order ship?
Orders are dispatched within a few business days. Some plants are seasonal and ship only during their dormant or active window (noted on the page where relevant). Free shipping applies to orders over €100.
Can I track my order?
Yes. If you select tracked shipping, you'll get tracking details by email as soon as your order is dispatched, so you know exactly when to expect it and can be ready to unpack your plants promptly.
What do I do when my order arrives?
Open the box the day it arrives and get the plant out. Give it water, keep it somewhere sheltered and bright for a few days to settle, then plant it out when you're ready.
Are you licensed to sell and ship plants?
Yes. We're licensed by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM), which means our plants are inspected and certified to meet plant health and phytosanitary standards for sale and shipping across the EU. You're buying from a registered, compliant nursery.
