Beet- Detriot Dark Red Seed

Beet 'Detroit Dark Red' is a classic, high-yielding heirloom variety known for its deep red, smooth, and sweet-flavored roots. It matures in 55-60 days and thrives in full sun with well-drained, loose soil. Sow seeds directly outdoors ½ inch deep, spacing them 1-2 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 3-4 inches for optimal growth. Consistent watering ensures tender, non-woody roots. Both the roots and nutritious greens are edible. Ideal for fresh eating, roasting, pickling, and storage, this reliable variety is perfect for home gardens.
