A superb dual-purpose variety that also makes an attractive feature in the veg garden. Beetroot ‘Bulls Blood’ yields deep red leaves that make a delicious and colourful addition to salads or in cooked dishes as an alternative to spinach. The crimson leaves also look great edging veg beds or even used as foliage interest in ornamental borders amongst hot coloured annuals. You can also enjoy the roots, harvesting them when young and tender. Height: 30cm (12in). Spread: 15cm (6in).

Direct sow beetroot seeds outdoors from March to July in a weed free, sunny position in fertile, light, well drained soil. Sow beetroot seeds thinly in shallow drills at a depth of 3cm (1") and 30cm (12") apart. Germination will usually take 12 to 24 days. When large enough to handle, thin out the seedlings within each row to 10cm (4") apart. Can also be sown into modules and planted out.
When growing beetroot, water as necessary to prevent the soil from drying out and keep the plants cool and moist. This will help to avoid plants running to seed. Roots can be lifted at any time from June to October once they have reached 1" diameter or more. Harvest any remaining crops before the first frosts. Beetroot can be stored until mid spring in boxes of moist sand in a frost free shed or garage.
