Sweet and crunchy, with dark orange, fine grained 6-7" roots and generous yields. This hardy variety is easy to grow, stores well and stays crisp when cooked. Perfect for deep containers and shallow gardens. Packet is 1.5g.
Planting
Sow outdoors in very early spring in full sun and loose, evenly moist soil with plenty of organic matter. Before planting, loosen the soil to a depth of 8" to help the roots grow straight. Be patient! Carrots can be slow to germinate.
