Beetroot Detroit Seedling Punnet

Beetroot ‘Detroit’ is a classic, reliable heirloom beetroot variety grown for its smooth, round roots and rich deep red flesh. Known for its sweet, earthy flavour and consistent performance, it’s a favourite for home vegetable gardens and kitchen gardens.

Detroit beetroot produces medium-sized bulbs with tender flesh that holds its colour well when cooked. Perfect for roasting, boiling, pickling and juicing, it’s also valued for its nutritious green tops, which can be harvested young and used like spinach.

Easy to grow and highly productive, Beetroot Detroit thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil with regular watering. It performs well in garden beds, raised beds and large containers, making it suitable for gardeners of all experience levels.
