Thompson & Morgan Beetroot Detroit 2 (Organic) Seeds

Quality variety with rich maroon colouring and excellent flavour, the beets are also extremely uniform and of good size. Ideal for sowing in succession through the season to achieve a longer harvest period.

How to sow

Sow thinly, 1cm (½in) deep in drills 30cm (12in) apart.

How to grow

Thin seedlings to 5cm (2in) apart when large enough to handle. Later thinnings will be suitable for using in salads. Harvest when roots reach about 4cm (1½in) in diameter or more. The smaller the root the better the quality. Beet can be stored by lifting the remaining roots; twist off the tops and store in boxes of slightly damp sand in frost-free conditions.
