Perfected Detroit Beet | Beet Seed from Gurney's Seed and Nursery

Perfected Detroit Beet

Uniform Color, Size and Shape

(7 customer reviews)

Perfected Detroit Beet has the same great flavor and canning/pickling qualities as Detroit Dark Red, but with more uniform color and shape. Deep rich red color throughout, no rings or white streaks. Always sweet and rich for canning, pickling and eating fresh! 58 DAYS.

Freshly dug beets have a buttery-sweet flavor that even kids will love. You get twice as much for your effort, too: the young, green tops are deliciously nutritious. For fall harvests, plant beets anytime from August to September 1 (zone 6- planting dates will vary by zone).

Seed Counts: 1 ounce of beet seed contains about 1,200 seeds and sows a 100-foot row.

I found your beets very easy to grow in my clay soil and when I harvested them.....They were great and they canned real good also. I will allways plant these type. Thank you

Amazing
Reviewed By: Debbie (Newton Falls, OH)
These beets were AMAZING! Huge crop from just 1 twenty foot row. Some grew as big as softballs but tasted just as good as the smaller ones without becoming pithy.

Very tasty
Reviewed By: Jack (Wooster, Ohio)
This is the first time we ever grew beets. Quite tasteful and juicy. Will probably be able to get in a second crop. No regrets.
