Carrot Seeds - Attilio F1 - Sweet & Succulent Nantes Variety (400 Seeds)

The Modern Standard for Quality – Uniform, Robust, and Exceptionally Sweet.

Attilio F1 represents the pinnacle of Nantes-type carrot breeding. Designed to be the perfect successor to the legendary 'Trevor F1', Attilio offers gardeners a highly reliable harvest of uniform, high-quality roots. It is prized for its smooth texture and intense orange colour, making it just as attractive on the plate as it is in the garden.

Each pack contains 400 seeds. This hybrid is particularly noted for its high tolerance to cavity spot and its remarkable resistance to root breaking and "silvering" of the skin. Whether you are harvesting young for crunchy summer salads or allowing them to reach full size for winter stews and casseroles, Attilio F1 maintains its succulent, tender bite without becoming woody.

Why 'Attilio F1' is a top-tier choice:

• Exceptional Uniformity: Produces consistent, blunt-ended roots that are easy to wash and prepare.

• Resilient Growth: High resistance to common carrot ailments like cavity spot and skin silvering.

• Versatile Kitchen Use: Boasts a high sugar content that shines when eaten raw, steamed, or roasted.

• Strong Hybrid Vigour: Reliable germination and upright, healthy foliage make it easy to manage in the row.
