BIO Beetroot - Detroit 2 - Succulent, richly red roots - Fresh Seeds

BIO Beetroot Detroit 2 is a reliable variety that produces smooth, round roots with an intense red flesh that is evenly coloured throughout. It is valued for steady growth, good yields, and excellent kitchen quality. The flesh stays tender with a gently sweet taste, and it keeps its strong colour after cooking. The seeds come from certified organic cultivation, grown without synthetic plant protection products or fertilisers. Detroit 2 works well for everyday cooking and preserving, and it is a great choice for juice, beetroot soup, pickles, and salads. The roots also store well, keeping their firmness and flavour for a long time, so you can enjoy the harvest through the winter.

Sowing depth

Sow Detroit 2 beetroot seeds at a depth of 2-3 cm. This helps ensure good germination and supports healthy root development.

When to sow outdoors

Sow beetroot directly outdoors from April to July. Choose a sunny, warm, and sheltered spot, as this supports faster germination and strong growth.

Spacing

Keep 30-40 cm between rows and around 5 cm between plants. This gives the roots enough space to form properly and improves access to water, air, and light.

Harvest time

Detroit 2 is harvested from July to October. At this time the roots reach their best taste and quality, staying firm, juicy, and rich in nutrients. Harvested at the right stage, they are suitable for eating fresh and for long storage in a cool place.

Growing tips

Beetroot grows best in fertile, sandy loam soil with a neutral pH. During growth it needs regular watering, especially while the roots are forming, as a lack of water can make them woody. Thanks to natural growing methods, BIO seeds support crops free from GMOs, pesticides, and chemical additives. For the best results, change the growing position every few years and avoid planting after other root crops. This simple step helps reduce disease and supports healthier, stronger harvests.
