Bull's Blood Heirloom Beet

‘Bull’s Blood’ is a striking heirloom beet prized for its deep burgundy foliage, scarlet roots, and excellent dual-purpose harvest. Young leaves have a crisp, clean flavor and add rich color to salads, while the roots develop distinctive red-and-white concentric rings as they mature. Its dramatic foliage also makes ‘Bull’s Blood’ an attractive addition to edible landscapes and ornamental garden beds.

Sow ‘Bull’s Blood’ 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 about 16 inches tall and perform best in loose, well-drained soil with consistent moisture as they establish.

Ready to harvest in about 35 days for leaves and 58 days for roots, pick young foliage as needed for tender greens, taking care not to remove too much if you also want full-sized roots. Harvest the 2- to 3-inch roots once they reach your preferred size while they are still firm and tender.

Colorful, flavorful, and versatile, ‘Bull’s Blood’ is excellent for fresh eating, salads, roasting, cooking, and ornamental edible gardens.
