Description

This colorful mixture consists of 4 varieties from ProSpecieRara and brings diversity in color, shape and taste to the kitchen: (1) Giants of Colmar (slow-growing storage variety of the Red Giants type), (2) Gniff (slow-growing storage variety from Ticino, purple outside, white inside), (3) Küttiger (old variety from Aargau with white, slightly shorter carrots, slow-growing storage variety), (4) Jaune du doubs (old variety from Frakreich, long pointed yellow carrot with green head, slow-growing). Old and rare varieties with original taste, especially high in carotene, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Since slow growing, do not sow too late.

Non hybrid

Growing tips

Sow sufficiently early and not too densely. Mounding, mixed cultivation with leeks, cultivation under netting and avoiding areas with fresh organic fertilizer help to prevent the carrot fly. Carrots take a very long time to germinate and must be kept moist during this time. Later separation is usually necessary to form large turnips. Do not grow umbellifers on the same area more often than every 4 years. Development time: 130-140 days.
