In the past, we’ve almost gotten annoyed at how wildly vigorous and almost robotically uniform they were in the rainbow carrot beds at the home farm. Imperator type roots are very long and straight. Not quite as sweet as an orange carrot (which they make up for in pure mass!) and yet lovely in a slightly milder but never bland way. An essential part of any rainbow carrot mix, these carrots glow yellow! 8-10” long. \u003cbr\u003e70 days.
