Beetroot Plants

Our beetroot plug plants are very easy to grow in any garden. They will do well in beds or pots, as beetroot is shallow-rooting, and are suitable for most UK vegetable gardens. You can plant beetroot anytime between late April and late July, and harvest over summer and autumn.

  • Beetroot – Cylindra

    £4.99
    (10 Plug Plants)

    Unusual, easy to grow and deliciously tasty
    This cylindrical beetroot has smooth skin and dark purple-red flesh. We love it for being so easy to slice, and it is perfect for pots too as it really needs very little space to grow. The roots tend to poke above the soil, but they can be earthed up and will remain in good condition for several weeks until you are ready to harvest them. Beetroot is very easy to grow, especially using our organic plug plants which come with a complete growing guide.

    Number of plants: 10 plug plants

    Variety: Cylindra (organic*)

    In the kitchen: The roots of this beetroot are sweet with an earthy-caramel taste, especially lovely when roasted. Or you could try boiling the beetroot or sliced up and in salads.
