Grow your own Detroit Dark Red Beet (Beta vulgaris) from open-pollinated seeds — one of the world's most reliable and widely grown root vegetable varieties. This classic garden beet produces smooth uniform globe-shaped roots with deep crimson skin and tender sweet dark red flesh — consistent in size and flavour from garden to table. Both the roots and young leaves are edible. Ideal for home vegetable gardens, raised beds, and large containers. Easy to establish, rewarding to grow, and productive across all cool climate garden settings.
