How to Germinate Beetroot Detroit Dark Red

How to Germinate Beetroot Detroit Dark Red (Beta vulgaris)
  • Sow beetroot seeds directly outdoors 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost date.
  • Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and space them about 2-4 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart.
  • Soak seeds in water for 12 hours before planting to speed up germination.
  • Choose a sunny location with well-draining, loose soil for the best germination.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 7-14 days.
  • Thin seedlings to 3-4 inches apart once they are a few inches tall to ensure proper growth.

Additional Tips
  • Beetroot thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in warmer climates.
  • Water regularly, aiming to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged to prevent cracking of roots.
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer once the seedlings are established to support healthy root development.
  • Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and control weed growth.
  • Harvest beets when they reach about 2-3 inches in diameter for the best flavor and texture.
