OUT OF STOCK FOR 2022. Orange, 6 – 7” long, tapered carrots that are sweet and delightful. In 2001 Dieter Bauer, a Biodynamic German farmer/ breeder began selecting Rodelika carrots for extra sweet taste … eight years later Leira was born! With hybrid carrots dominating the market, we are impressed with the vigor and uniform size & shape of this open-pollinated carrot. Plants have strong tops that compete well with weeds, making them easier to pull out of the ground as well. Plant this carrot July 1st and by October you will have incredibly sweet carrots with a profoundly juicy crunch … well worth the wait! Keep them in the ground longer and they will continue to sweeten, or store them over the winter and you can have tasty roots all winter long. In our trials, Leira was also super easy to clean – spray with a hose and voila – they’re clean! Makes great carrot juice. 90 days to maturity.
