Bull’s Blood Beet
Bull’s Blood Beets are beloved for their leaves as much as their sweet roots. They can be harvested very early and then throughout the season to add color, flavor, and vitamins to your plate. The actual beet root is almost a bonus. They also look so stunning you’ll want to plant them somewhere prominent in your garden.

Basic Growing Information
Direct sow 1/2” deep. The wrinkled “seedball” usually contains two to four viable seeds, making it necessary to thin to 4” spacings. Sow new beet seeds every 3 weeks for a continual harvest.
