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 'Eskimo' F1 Hybrid

Carrot 'Eskimo' F1 Hybrid

Daucus carota
  • NEW in 2013
  • RHS Award of Garden Merit
  • The most cold-tolerant variety - down to -10°C

As the name suggests, Carrot ‘Eskimo’ is one of the most cold tolerant varieties available, coping with winter weather down to -10C when grown on lighter soils. The rich orange, cylindrical roots can be lifted late in the season or even over wintered in free draining conditions. This top quality, RHS AGM variety resists splitting and retains its flavour throughout the autumn and winter - especially if left in the ground. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 15cm (6").


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