Detroit Dark Red beets have been a favorite among gardeners since 1892, thanks to their rich flavor and versatility. Originally introduced by Detroit's D.M. Ferry Seed Company, these 2-3" globe-shaped beets are tender, sweet, and ready to harvest in just 60 days. The dark green tops can be cooked like swiss chard, making it a dual-purpose vegetable. With a deep red color and resistance to Downy Mildew, these beets are perfect for enjoying fresh or canning. Add a touch of heritage and vibrant color to your garden with this classic American beet.

PLANTING

Germination: 5-10 days
Seed Sowing Depth: 1/2” deep
Sowing: It is best to direct sow beet seeds in early spring or fall when the weather is cooler. Beets, like other root veggies, don't like being transplanted, so it's best to sow them directly in your garden.Plant the seeds 1/2 inch deep, at 1-2 inches apart in soil that's fertile, organic, and drains well, and is exposed to full sun. sunlight. Once the true leaves start growing, thin out the seedlings so there's one plant every 2-3 inches. For a continuous harvest all season, plant more seeds every 2-3 weeks.
Days to maturity: 60 days
Orders are shipped in 1-3 business days excluding holidays or delays due to natural disasters like hurricanes.
Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them.
