Beets can be grown in the southern United States, but they require specific considerations to thrive in the warm climates of Zones 7 through 10. So, choose beets that can beat the heat! Our hardiest beet varieties are well-adapted to heat and have shorter maturation times, so you can get your produce out of the sun faster. While growing beets in the South requires careful attention to timing and proper care, it is certainly possible to enjoy a successful beet harvest in this region. Gurney's experienced gardeners are here to help, so choose your beet seeds with confidence.
