Common Names: Detroit Dark Red Beet, Beetroot, Garden Beet, Table Beet

Short Description:
Detroit Dark Red is a classic open-pollinated beetroot variety prized for its smooth, round roots and rich, deep crimson flesh. Renowned for its sweet, earthy flavour and tender texture, it is excellent for fresh salads, roasting, steaming, pickling, and juicing. The nutritious green tops are also edible and can be cooked like spinach. This reliable, high-yielding variety performs well in home gardens and is suitable for spring, autumn, and cool-season cultivation.

Germination Tips:

• Sow seeds 1–2 cm (½ inch) deep in loose, well-drained soil.
• Maintain a soil temperature of 10–30°C (50–86°F) for best germination.
• Keep the soil consistently moist during germination.
• Seeds typically germinate in 5–14 days.
• Thin seedlings to 8–10 cm (3–4 inches) apart to allow proper root development.
• Grow in full sun for the highest yields, though partial shade is tolerated in warmer climates.
