Cylindra beet is a unique, cylindrical variety prized for its uniform shape and sweet, tender flesh. Ideal for slicing and canning, this beet matures in about 55-60 days. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun exposure. Sow seeds 1 inch apart and thin seedlings to 3-4 inches to allow for growth. Cylindra beets are known for their long, narrow roots, which make them easy to harvest and prepare. Consistent moisture is key for optimal growth. The greens are also edible and can be used in salads or sautéed. This variety is perfect for gardeners seeking high yields and easy processing.
like always great seeds but where i planted these my soil was bad so it killed all but my fault will buy much more
Grew them in my greenstalk. They did great and I was able to grow 3 rounds of beets. Zone 5b
Thank you for becoming my favorite seed company!
i planted these beets, about a 50% germinating rate , but by far the best , sweetest beat i have ever eaten, absolutely will grow again.
These beets grew very well for us! We added compost and sand to our clay soil. Their shape was elongated instead of round, which made for easier peeling and consistent sized slices. As a bonus, the American Goldfinches flocked to them to nibble on the leaves. We let them have the tops, while we enjoyed the roots!
Grew these for the past three years and I will keep growing them for many more. I highly recommend them. Great germination rate. Every onion grew to the size of baseballs and others a bit bigger and they store very well.Best long day onion I have ever grow.
I am very happy with my heirloom seeds. I cannot wait to germinate them.
Started my seeds on 12/31/25. I’ve had almost 100% germination and the onion seedlings are a couple of inches tall at this point (1/9/26). Looking forward to a great harvest!
Grew these last year, so I bought more seeds! they were awesome, very prolific and tasted great!!
I started them early....did waterjug winter seed starts .. they did very well....grew up to be nice sturdy plants, bearing lots of fruit! Thank You!!
