Detroit Dark Red is the perfect all-purpose beet variety. This medium-early variety produces round, dark red roots. These beets are very enjoyable, growing tender and fine-grained throughout. Ideal for use fresh, canned, pickled and frozen. Tops are great for salads too! Please Note: Seed tapes require consistent moisture to ensure best germination.

Seeding Instructions: Prepare the soil for planting. Make shallow rows 13 mm (1/2") deep and 30 cm (12") apart. Tear strips apart and unroll into rows. Water the seed tape thoroughly, then cover with soil and water thoroughly again. Beets grow quickly and can be re-sown every 2 weeks until mid-summer. Plant near bush beans, cabbage, lettuce, or kohlrabi but away from pole beans.

Days to germination: from 10 to 12

Days to maturity: about 55
