Dragon Carrot

(Daucus carota) A reliable and consistent producer of tapered carrots reaching up to 7” in length and 2” at the shoulders.  Vibrant purple skins enclose crisp orange centers with a lighter yellow core. Mildly sweet, earthy flavor.  A beautiful addition to salads and snack trays.  85 days to harvest.  150 seeds per packet.

CULTURE: Sow seeds outdoors about 3-5 weeks before last frost.  Keep soil moist until germination has occurred.  Hint: To keep soil cool and moist during germination, carrot seed can be inter-planted with radishes, which are harvested once the carrot seedlings are established.  Successive plantings can be made every 2-3 weeks throughout spring and fall.
