Varieties of Carrot
Which variety suits you depends on site, space and taste. Here are the Carrot varieties with their particulars.
- ‚Flyaway F1‘*‚Flyaway F1’* is a modern hybrid bred for its high tolerance against the carrot fly, whose larvae are otherwise the most common cause of bored roots.
- ‚Gelbe Lange Stumpfe ohne Herz‘The *‚Gelbe Lange Stumpfe ohne Herz’* is an old yellow‑fleshed land variety that was mainly grown as feed and soup…
- ‚Nantaise 2‘The proven classic among summer carrots, almost cylindrical with a blunt end and a barely noticeable core.
- ‚Oxhella‘A short, blunt carrot of the Chantenay type with a strong shoulder that does well even on heavy, stony and shallow soils.
- ‚Pariser Markt‘An old French round carrot whose round roots, almost the size of a golf ball, are ready to harvest after just a few weeks.
- ‚Purple Haze F1‘A spectacular hybrid carrot with deep purple skin and an orange core; sliced open it shows a glowing ring of colour that lifts any plate of raw vegetables.
- ‚Rodelika‘A biodynamically bred storage carrot with an exceptionally strong, full bodied aroma; many consider it the most flavourful carrot there is.
