As the name suggests, a long, slim, cylindrical shaped beetroot, with a dark red colour to both the outer smooth skin and the inner sweet flesh. Ideal variety for slicing. Matures medium early.
Sow seeds sparingly, early March-late June, about 2cm apart in rows, and cover with a little soil. Allow about 30cm between rows. Can be sown as early as end of January in a frost-free greenhouse.
As seedlings develope, thin them to about 10cm apart. Keep soil moist at all times to prevent roots becoming dry and woody.
