Cylindra Beet

‘Cylindra’ is a distinctive beet prized for its long, cylindrical roots, smooth skin, and deep red color. The elongated roots produce more uniform slices than traditional round beets while maintaining a tender, juicy texture and naturally sweet flavor. Their narrow shape also makes them especially convenient for slicing, pickling, and preserving.

Sow ‘Cylindra’ directly in the garden about ½ inch deep during the cooler temperatures of spring or fall. Space plants 2 to 4 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 12 to 16 inches tall and perform best in loose, well-drained soil with consistent moisture as the roots develop.

Ready to harvest in about 58 days, begin pulling the 6- to 8-inch-long roots once they reach your preferred size while they are still firm, juicy, and tender.

Sweet, tender, and versatile, ‘Cylindra’ is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, roasting, cooking, pickling, and preserving.
