Description

Suitable for both early cultivation as a bunch and wash carrot, but also for late cultivation for storage. It grows straight and fast and is hardy to pests. Pleasant, sweet, juicy-fresh, round taste. Smooth skin, bright orange after washing, very thin. Therefore, freshly harvested well edible without peeling. The foliage changes from light green to juicy dark green.

Growing tips

Spacing: 25-35 cm between rows, 6-10 cm in the row. Sowing depth 1cm (early) to 2 (late) cm. Light to medium, deeply permeable soil without waterlogging. Loosen soil deeply before sowing. Germination period 10-21 days at 5-35°C. Avoid areas with fresh organic fertilizer because of carrot fly. Weed regularly. Development time: 90-120 days. Mixed cultivation with dill promotes germination and protects against pests. Use: fresh and storage (in the ground as long as possible). Heat requirement: low. Tolerates light frost when fully grown. Recommended cultivation period: 3-4 years.
