Cylindra Beet Seeds
About–Â This long skinny beet typically grows to about 6-8 inches long and is ideal for uniform slices. With rich red color and bold flavor, Cylindra makes a great addition to any veggie garden.
When and Where to Plant–Â Sow seeds outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring. Seeds will germinate in 5-10 days. Select an area with loose soils and full sun.
