High-Yield Beetroot Detroit 2: A Gardener's Choice

Discover the timeless appeal of Beetroot Detroit Globe, a classic variety introduced nearly a century ago that remains a favourite for main crop sowing. With its deep red flesh and marvellous flavour, this beetroot is perfect for winter storage and is much tastier than store-bought alternatives. Easy to grow, Detroit Globe should be harvested when the roots are the size of a tennis ball. The plants reach up to 30cm tall and 15cm wide, making them a versatile addition to any garden. For the best yields, we recommend successional sowing. Enjoy the benefits of this hardy annual that promises a bountiful harvest.

Handy Tip: To ensure a continuous supply of sweet, small roots, sow seeds every two weeks.
