Quick Facts (Grow Guide)
| Botanical name | Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris — ‘Detroit Dark Red’ |
| Sun | Full sun (part shade okay in warm climates) |
| Sowing method | Direct sow early spring and late summer–fall; succession-sow every 2–3 weeks. Multigerm “seedballs” — thin after emergence. |
| Sowing depth | ½″ / 12 mm (cover well and keep evenly moist) |
| Spacing | Thin/plant 3–4″ / 7.5–10 cm; rows 12–18″ / 30–45 cm (2–3″ / 5–7.5 cm for baby beets) |
| Germination | ~5–10 days at ~50–75°F / 10–24°C (faster in warm, moist soil) |
| Soil | Loose, stone-free, well-drained; even moisture prevents woody roots |
| Harvest | Greens 20–30 days; baby roots 35–45; full size 55–65 days. Twist off tops to store roots longer. |
Ways to Use
- Roast, steam, or boil; then slice for bowls, salads, and sides.
- Pickle for pantry-ready crunch and color.
- Sauté young greens with garlic and olive oil.
What You’ll Receive
- Select your pack size in the listing variations
- Fresh, Non-GMO seeds in a moisture-resistant packet
- Simple sowing guide
- Germination guarantee — free replacement if seeds don’t sprout
Pro tip: Soak seed 8–12 hours or pre-sprout on a damp towel for faster, fuller stands. Thin to one plant per cluster — crowded beets stay small and misshapen.
