Description

Deservedly well-known, rich, orange/red-fleshed carrot, crisp and sweet. Excellent for a very early and successional sowing. Described as an intermediate, stump-rooted variety.

Sowing Instructions

Carrots prefer a deep, rich well drained soil which does not contain fresh manure or compost. Sow spring to mid summer in drills 1cm (½in) deep, spaced 30cm (12in) apart.

Aftercare

The last thinnings should provide trender roots just large enough to be used. Harvest late summer and autumn.
