Beta Vulgaris ‘Bull’s Blood’ (Beetroot) is a highly sought-after heirloom variety prized for its deep burgundy-red foliage and sweet, tender roots. Both ornamental and edible, it brings striking colour contrast to vegetable gardens, with young leaves perfect for salads and mature roots ideal for roasting, pickling, or fresh cooking. Its dual-purpose nature makes it a favourite for gardeners wanting both visual appeal and reliable harvests.

Easy to grow and fast maturing, ‘Bull’s Blood’ performs best in full sun with well-drained soil, producing high-quality roots and nutrient-rich leaves throughout the growing season. This variety is particularly valued for its consistent flavour, cold tolerance, and decorative foliage that enhances garden beds as well as kitchen gardens. A must-have for productive and ornamental edible planting schemes.
