About Lila Lu
95 days. Deep purple with contrasting bright orange cores. Purple color goes deep enough that they stay purple when peeled. Sweet, mild taste, unlike the peppery flavor of many purple carrots. Produces 4–5" roots. Open-pollinated.
About Carrots
Carrots are best from seed. When harvesting, give them a good twist so the leaves don’t break off in your hand, but once they’re up, cut off the leaves right away. Carrot tops look pretty, but they keep growing and draw moisture and nourishment out of the roots. The leaves are edible and make good pesto.
