Carrot – Flyaway F1 (500 Seeds)

The Ultimate Solution for Carrot Fly Sweet, Crunchy & Award-Winning.

Flyaway F1 is a breakthrough in carrot breeding, specifically developed to be the first variety with high tolerance to the dreaded Carrot Fly. It is naturally far less attractive to egg-laying flies, making it a game-changer for gardeners who have previously struggled to harvest a clean crop. This outstanding variety holds the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, a testament to its reliability and performance.

Each pack contains 500 seeds, producing smooth-skinned, stump-ended roots with a beautiful deep-orange colour. Beyond its pest resistance, Flyaway is a delicious Nantes-type carrotcrisp, succulent, and notably sweet. Whether youre eating them raw as a healthy snack or steamed for a Sunday roast, they provide the perfect balance of flavour and texture.

Gardeners Tip: While Flyaway is highly resistant, it is not 100% immune. For the ultimate “belt and braces” approach, consider growing a sacrificial row of a standard variety like Early Nantes nearby to lure flies away, or use fine insect netting (Enviromesh) during the peak fly seasons. Always thin seedlings in the evening and water immediately to mask the scent of the disturbed foliage.
