Bulls Blood Beet is an 1840s heirloom grown for both leaves and roots. Brilliant red-burgundy leaves serve as greens or salad mix, while 2-3 inch roots slice to show deep red and white rings.
Sow 1/2 inch deep outdoors in early spring at 50ºF or warmer. Sprouts in 5-10 days at 50-85ºF. Thin to 3-4 inches apart for even roots.
