Cylindra Beet Seeds by West Coast Seeds (Beta vulgaris)

Cylindra Beet (Beta vulgaris) is a unique heirloom beet variety known for its elongated cylindrical roots rather than the traditional round shape. The smooth, deep red roots develop with uniform coloration and a fine-grained texture, making them especially easy to slice and prepare. Their sweet flavour and tender flesh make them a favourite for fresh eating, roasting, pickling, and preserving.

In vegetable gardens, Cylindra beets offer excellent space efficiency and high yields due to their elongated growth habit. The roots develop consistently in loose soil and provide a larger proportion of usable slices compared to round beet varieties. In addition to the roots, the nutritious green tops can be harvested and used fresh or cooked like spinach and chard.

Cylindra is a classic heirloom beet prized for its distinctive shape, versatility, and dependable garden performance. Seeds are supplied by West Coast Seeds. This listing is for seed packets only and does not include live plants.

Sun Requirements ▾

Cylindra beets perform best in full sun but tolerate partial sun conditions. Adequate sunlight encourages vigorous foliage growth and strong root development. Reduced light may slow growth and result in smaller harvests.

Watering Instructions ▾

Maintain evenly moist soil throughout germination and root development. Water when the soil surface begins to dry while avoiding waterlogged conditions. Consistent moisture helps prevent woody texture and supports uniform root growth.

Care Tips ▾

Cylindra beets grow best in loose, well-draining soil free from stones and heavy compaction. Soil enriched with organic matter supports even root development, while stable temperatures and moderate humidity encourage healthy growth. Avoid freshly manured soils, which may contribute to irregular root formation.
