Beet Seeds - Cylindra

Beta vulgaris HEIRLOOM. The best beet for pickles! This heirloom from Denmark is also known as “Butter Slicer” because of its tender, smooth texture. Long, uniform, carrot-like roots make for very easy peeling and slicing. Grows up to 6″ long and can be used for pickles or cooking at this size, but is best harvested at 3-4″ for fresh eating.  Cylindra beets can be direct seeded in the garden as soon as the soil is workable in spring, or in late summer for fall harvest. Plant in full sun for the largest roots. Roots are ready to harvest in about 55 days. 2 gram packet contains approximately 80 seeds.
