Very tasty, traditional dark red beet variety with 10-20 cm long cylindrical roots, ideal for slicing. It has a very mild flavor at all stages of growth, the roots do not tend to lignify and are very suitable for pickling. The sweet stems and leaves can also be used in cooking. Yielding. When harvested from October, storable until March.
Non hybrid
Not frost resistant
It prefers sandy-loamy loose soil, which should not be acidic. Press seed, cover with soil and keep moist. Germination after 5-10 days at 15-22°C. If necessary, separate to 10 cm from mid-April - mid-July. Likes sunny, even semi-shady locations and all loose, humusy garden soils. Water only moderately, but continuously. Cylindra can be harvested after about 60 days (after germination). Late sowings from in June produce very tender beets. Harvest without injury or they will bleed.
