Growing Information

Growing Detroit Dark Red Heirloom Beet

‘Detroit Dark Red’ is a classic heirloom beet prized for its dependable performance, deep red roots, and sweet, tender flavor. Plants produce uniform, rounded roots topped with dark green foliage accented by attractive red veining, making this variety a longtime favorite for both fresh use and preserving.

Sow ‘Detroit Dark Red’ directly in the garden about ½ inch deep during the cooler temperatures of spring or fall. Space plants 2 to 4 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 12 to 16 inches tall and perform best in loose, well-drained soil with consistent moisture as the roots develop.

Ready to harvest in about 60 days, begin pulling the 2½- to 3-inch roots once they reach your preferred size while they are still firm, sweet, and tender.

Sweet, tender, and versatile, ‘Detroit Dark Red’ is excellent for roasting, cooking, slicing, canning, and freezing.
