About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The proven classic among summer carrots, almost cylindrical with a blunt end and a barely noticeable core. The flesh is deep orange, crisp and pleasantly sweet, the cultivar against which many others have to measure themselves. You sow it directly into the bed from April and harvest tender, juicy roots all summer long. It is open pollinated, undemanding and succeeds reliably even for beginners.
Sweet and juicy with a fine aroma, a real treat for children straight from the bed.
