Round, long, rainbow-coloured, purple or just plain orange - we've got carrots to suit every taste! Try growing carrot-fly resistant varieties for the best chance of a healthy crop.

Carrot 'Caracas'

Carrot 'Caracas'

Daucus carota

With its short conical roots, Carrot ‘Caracas’ is a good choice for growing on heavier soils, and ideal for sowing in containers as ‘baby’ carrots. ‘Chantenay’ types are increasingly popular in the supermarket but have been a gardeners’ favourite for years. The rich orange flesh of these coreless roots have an outstanding flavour, whether they are eaten fresh or stored for later in the year. Height: 30cm (12”). Spread: 15cm (6”).


Companion planting: Try growing carrots with spring onions, leeks and mint, whose aromatic leaves deter carrot root fly.
