Notes

'Perfected Detroit' beet (Beta vulgaris 'Perfected Detroit') is a vegetable for containers, low maintenance plantings, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. It has an erect habit and grows at a moderate rate, so it fits well in a tidy row or a large pot.

Pairs well with Cherokee lettuce, Long Island Mammoth dill, and Red Torch tomato.
