Carrot Dragon

Dragon’s fiery magenta-purple skin combined with the sweetest flavour and contrasting internal colour of orange to yellow at its core make this a must-have varietythat delivers in every way.  Medium length (12-18cm) and smooth skinned too making it easy to prepare - lightly scrub then steam or simply cut into batons for dipping with a difference; delicious & beautiful. 

Price for 150 seeds

SOW:  prepare a seed drill, water and allow to drain before sowing.  Seed depth 10mm, sow April to July, with harvesting from June to October.  In milder areas you can sow & harvest a little earlier.  Sow sparingly to avoid the need for too much thinning.

GROW: they take up to 21 days to germinate so you can mark where they are by sowing alternate rows with a much faster crop … a baby leaf or an oriental variety are good choices as they will be harvested before they can possibly shade or crowd your carrots. Keep moist but too much water encourages leaves instead of the roots!  After 12 or so weeks pull a single carrot to check size then away you go.
