Description
The Detroit 2 Crimson Globe red beetroot is a biennial vegetable plant that grows up to 40 cm (16in) tall. It is an early variety cultivated for its round roots with a sweet taste. It is ideal for salads, cooked or raw, and also for juicing. Sow from April to May for a harvest 4 months later.
Beetroots are biennial root vegetables. The first year is dedicated to the accumulation of nutrients in the root. The second year, the plant draws from this reserve to produce flowering and then seed production. The edible root is harvested in the first year, but if you want to produce your own seeds, you will need to wait until the following year by reserving a few plants for this purpose. Sometimes called red carrot or red root, beetroot varieties differ in their colour: there are red, white, yellow, orange, or pink varieties, as well as in their shapes, such as cylindrical, spherical, or ovate, and in their carbohydrate content.
They can be classified into three main categories:
- vegetable beetroots usually grown in gardens,
- sugar beets grown in open fields for sugar extraction,
- and finally, fodder beets intended for livestock but also very tasty in human diets.
Beetroot is not only a carbohydrate-rich food, but it is also known for its high content of vitamins and minerals, particularly potassium.
Storage: Once the beetroots are harvested, they should be left to dry for a full day on the ground. To store them throughout the winter, it is recommended to store them in a cool and dark place like a cellar or pantry. To optimize storage and preserve the taste qualities, you can bury them under a layer of dry sand.
The gardener's tip: Beetroots should be planted in full sun but also need to remain in cool soil. To maintain these two conditions, consider mulching around the plants.

Planting and care
Early cultivation: From late February to April, sow the seeds in small holes in trays. The seeds are grouped together in clusters so that several plants will emerge. Transplanting is usually done when the first sowings take place, around April. When the seedlings reach 10 cm (4in) and/or five leaves, position them in the open ground, spacing them 20 to 25 cm (8 to 10in) apart and selecting the strongest ones. This method allows for harvesting from May to July.
Seasonal cultivation: Sow directly in the open ground from mid-April to July. Beets prefer cool and loose soils. Start by loosening the soil with a rake. Add some wood ash if necessary, as beets require a lot of potash. Then add well-decomposed manure or compost to the furrows. Once the seedlings reach 10 cm (4in) and/or five leaves, thin them out, spacing them 20 to 25 cm (8 to 10in) apart. If you choose to have multiple rows of beets, space them 20 to 25 cm (8 to 10in) apart and select the strongest ones. Harvesting can be done from July to October.
Cultivation: Water regularly during hot and dry weather to prevent the roots from becoming lignified. Beets do not associate well with leeks. However, they can be successfully planted with lettuces, onions, or radishes. Beets are hardy and very resistant to diseases.
Harvesting: In spring, when thinning out the plants, keep the young leaves to consume them in mixed salads. Otherwise, with a planting in April, you will obtain your first beets as early as July. Harvesting will continue until October for sowings in July.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
