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.

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.
