Description
The "Rainbow" punnet of Carrot (Daucus carota) is an eclectic mix, adding a burst of colours to your garden and plate, from deep purples and vibrant oranges to soft yellows. These diverse carrots are not just a visual treat, but also delight the palate with subtle flavour variations from one hue to the next. Offering such a spectrum of colours makes it perfect for those seeking a visually appealing garden and diverse culinary experiences.
Carrots thrive best under sunlit conditions and favour well-draining soils. If "Rainbow" carrots are grown in the ground, particularly in sandy soils, a touch of soil conditioner can enhance their growth. In pots or vege/herb gardens, consistent moisture ensures their best development. A dash of vegetable-specific fertiliser during Birak to Bunuru (summer to late summer) helps them reach their peak. Generally, these colourful wonders take around 70 to 80 days to mature from sowing. Come harvest time, hold the carrot's green top near the soil and pull gently to reveal its vibrant shade.
