Growing Information
Growing Cylindra Beet
‘Cylindra’ Beet is a distinctive variety known for its long, cylindrical roots, smooth skin, and deep red color. Its elongated shape produces more uniform slices than traditional round beets while maintaining a tender, juicy texture and naturally sweet flavor.
Sow ‘Cylindra’ directly in the garden during the cooler temperatures of spring or fall. Plant seeds in loose, well-drained soil and keep the seedbed consistently moist while seedlings establish. Thin plants as they grow to give the long roots enough room to develop evenly.
Harvest the roots once they reach the desired size while they are still tender and juicy. Their narrow, uniform shape makes them especially easy to slice and prepare.
‘Cylindra’ beets are excellent for fresh eating, slicing, roasting, cooking, pickling, and preserving.
