Super productive variety
Easy to grow
The most handsome of all carrots, with the colours of a blood orange. They look and taste great and because they contain the super-healthy plant pigments — beta-carotene, anthocyanin and lutein, they’re also good for you

Care Tips
Water well to encourage germination. Once germinated, carrots should be watered only when necessary to keep the soil moist as excessive water may encourage leaf growth instead of roots. Grow under Enviromesh to protect against carrot root fly.
