Detroit Dark Red Beets

Beta vulgaris

This root crop is deep red in color, with super sweet juicy yet firm flesh. The seeds will need to be directly seeded into the garden. They grow to be about 3" in diameter at harvest. The leaves can also be harvested and cooked as greens. Beets contain significant amounts of vitamin C, iron, magnesium,  dietary fiber, folate, potassium and manganese. They can be eaten raw in a salad, roasted, boiled, used in soups, and even pickled. For some inspiration, check out some of these creative ways to use your beets.

  • “All items arrived quickly and well packaged. I usually expect to have one or two live items out of a batch, but they are all thriving. I couldn’t be happier!”

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

  • “I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
