Daucus carota
This carrot variety grows particularly well interplanted with onions and in heavy soils due to its high fiber content. Heat-tolerant with high yields, it also has a noticeably sweeter flavor and stores exceptionally well if cleaned after harvest. Resistant to cracks and splits. Roots are 6″-7″ long at their peak. Botanical Interests’® Danvers 126 Carrot Seeds have been verified by The Non-GMO Project.
