Beetroot Cylindra – Danish Heirloom Long Root Variety
Product Description
Beetroot Cylindra is a renowned Danish heirloom beetroot variety, prized for its long, slim, cylindrical roots and exceptional flavour. Producing roots approximately 7–10 cm long, this variety is ideal for gardeners seeking uniform, easy-to-harvest crops with outstanding sweetness and deep, rich red colouring throughout.
The smooth outer skin and tender inner flesh make Beetroot Cylindra perfect for slicing, pickling, and roasting. Unlike many globe types, its roots never become woody and retain a sweet, mellow flavour throughout the growing season. Cylindra’s slow-maturing nature ensures a longer harvest window and allows for successional sowing to enjoy continuous crops.
This variety grows well above ground, making it effortless to lift and harvest. When harvesting, simply twist off the leaves to prevent “bleeding.” Beetroot Cylindra also boasts excellent storage qualities, keeping well through winter when stored in cool, dry conditions.
Ideal for both baby beet harvests and full-size roots, this versatile variety delivers consistently delicious results. Each packet contains approximately 300 premium-quality seeds, packed with care and dispatched immediately for your convenience.
Our seeds are individually inspected for quality and freshness before packing. Growing instructions are included on every packet to help ensure successful cultivation.
Whether you’re a home gardener, allotment grower, or small-scale farmer, Beetroot Cylindra is the perfect choice for flavour, yield, and reliability.
