Cylindra Beetroot lives up to its name by yielding elongated, slim, cylindrical-shaped beetroots. Both the smooth outer skin and the inner flesh boast a deep red hue, and the taste is delightfully sweet. Optimal for slicing, this variety is a top choice.
Cultivation Tips
You will want consistent, staggered sowings to ensure a continuous harvest. Plant the seeds directly in their final location in spring after the last frost, ensuring the ground has warmed up. Follow up with successive sowings through early summer for an extended harvest. Thinly Sow 1cm deep in rows 30cm apart. Thin seedlings to 8cm apart.
Enjoy picking these roots over several months, starting from July onward.
Particularly prolific in confined spaces, this variety matures at a medium-early stage.
