Last season Tendersnax Carrot burst onto the scene, and this year we get to meet its sweeter cousin Candysnax! Long, blunt-tipped, packed with beta carotene as well as sugars, this carrot comes from a plant with unbelievable disease resistance. It's the one to grow every time for sure-fire flavor and big crops.
These carrots (shall we call them the Snax family?!) come to us from Germany, where they are bred specifically for great garden performance in tough environments. They are Nantes-Imperator types, and Candysnax is a very quick and generous producer, offering roots 8 to 10 inches long. Yum!
Candysnax scores higher than just about any other carrot on the Brix sweetness scale, making it a sure-fire hit with children and other carrot-haters. But it is also packed with extra beta carotene, so you can't find a more nutritious or delicious carrot!
The disease resistance package on this plant is amazing. It stands up to leaf blight (Alternaria), stem canker (another strain of Alternaria), root rot (Phythium), and leaf spot (Cercospora). What this means is that you will get more healthy plants from every packet of seeds, and healthier carrots grown from each of those plants!
Ready in no time, this is a carrot you simply must try. Take the plunge and discover what a treat this good-for-you vegetable can really be! Packet is 200 seeds.
