Description

Beet Bull's Blood (Beta vulgaris) is a famous heirloom variety dating back to 1840, celebrated worldwide for its stunning, deep reddish-purple to near-black foliage and sweet, earthy roots. Renowned as the premier variety for microgreens and baby leaf salad mixes, its leaves maintain their rich dark color even under summer heat. Beneath the striking canopy, it produces tender, round, dark crimson roots with attractive lighter zoning when sliced. A magnificent dual-purpose crop, it adds dramatic contrast to garden beds while delivering sweet, nutrient-rich roots and salad greens.
