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.

Starting Beet Seeds

  • Direct sow 4 weeks after last frost to mid-summer.
  • Beets will not produce roots if planted when the soil is too cold.
  • Seeds will germinate in 5-12 days, depending on soil temperature.
  • Optimal soil temperature: 10-26°C (50-80°F).

    Companion Planting For Beets

  • Beets add minerals to the soil. The greens are very good for the compost. Plant with bush beans, Brassicas, corn, garlic, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, and mint. Add cut mint leaves as a mulch for beets.
  • Avoid planting beets near pole beans, as the nitrogen fixed by the beans may encourage leafy beet growth and diminished root development.
