Golden Detroit Beets are sweet and tender with round, orange roots and golden flesh. This variety will stay golden yellow when cooked and won't bleed. Tops are deep, glossy green. Roots grow fast, but retain their sweet flavor even when quite large. Excellent for pickles.

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.
