Beetroot Plant ‘Detroit 2’

Beetroot plants are a true favourite among home gardeners due to their straightforward cultivation, excellent yields, and versatility in the kitchen. An enduring variety from our hand-picked collection, ‘Detroit 2’boasts perfectly rounded, deep ruby-red roots that are ready for harvesting from summer into autumn. The attractive foliage remains vigorous throughout the growing season and can also be harvested for use as leafy greens. Perfect for steaming, boiling and adding to salads, but also amazing when planted in traditional vegetable plots or decorative raised beds, these plants are truly versatile.
Thriving in a sunny position, although tolerating light shade, ‘Detroit 2’ prefers fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil and benefits from a sheltered growing location. Regular watering during dry spells helps maintain tender, evenly sized roots, while minimal maintenance is required beyond occasional weeding. Harvest young roots for sweet baby beetroot or allow them to mature for larger crops suitable for storage. Companion planting with nasturtium and lavender can help deter common pests while making efficient use of growing space.
