Bull's Blood Heirloom Beet

‘Bull’s Blood’ Beet is an heirloom variety known for its deep burgundy foliage and striking scarlet roots. The leaves can be harvested young for a crisp, clean flavor, while the roots develop distinctive red-and-white concentric rings as they mature.

Sow ‘Bull’s Blood’ directly in the garden during the cooler temperatures of spring or fall. Plant in loose, well-drained soil and keep the seedbed consistently moist while seedlings establish. Thin plants as they grow to give the roots enough space to develop evenly.

Harvest the leaves young for salads and fresh use, taking care not to remove too much foliage if you also want full-sized roots. For the sweetest flavor and best texture, harvest the roots once they reach their recommended mature size.

‘Bull’s Blood’ beets are especially well suited for fresh eating, salads, roasting, and cooking, while the richly colored foliage also adds ornamental interest to edible gardens.
