Detroit Dark Red beet is a classic heirloom variety known for its deep red, globe-shaped roots and robust flavor. The tender green tops are also edible and great for salads or sautéing. This versatile variety is ideal for roasting, boiling, or pickling, and is known for its high yields and reliable performance in the garden. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun exposure. Sow seeds 1 inch apart and thin seedlings to 3-4 inches to allow for proper root development. Consistent watering is essential for optimal growth and sweetness.

Very Satisfied!
Tried these for the first time last season in zone 8b. They did really well, and tasted so good. Will be planting again this season.
I love the Detroit Red. They are best for canning in my opinion.
Love the DDRB with cheese on bread
Grew these for the past three years and I will keep growing them for many more. I highly recommend them. Great germination rate. Every onion grew to the size of baseballs and others a bit bigger and they store very well.Best long day onion I have ever grow.
I am very happy with my heirloom seeds. I cannot wait to germinate them.
Started my seeds on 12/31/25. I’ve had almost 100% germination and the onion seedlings are a couple of inches tall at this point (1/9/26). Looking forward to a great harvest!
