Carrot (Daucus carota 'Sweet Sunshine') - Description

We were amazed when we first glimpsed this striking, true yellow carrot. And its beauty is more than skin deep. The 6 1/2" roots have a mild, extra-sweet carrot flavor. Even better is the texture tender, extra-juicy, and crisp like celery. Ready to harvest in 72 days. It's a delicacy for crudite platters, salads and dips. Burpee Exclusive. GARDEN HINTS: Sow seed in deep, well-worked stone-free soil. Do not transplant as crooked roots may result. Sow directly in the ground after danger of heavy frost in the spring. Grows best in full sun.
