Bull’s Blood beets can be direct seeded in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for fall harvest. Baby greens are ready in 34 days, and young roots are ready to pull in 55 days. Full sun is necessary for roots to size up, but greens can be grown in part shade. 2 gram packet contains a minimum of 110 seeds.
