Carrot, Chantenay Sweet Redcore (Daucus carota) seeds, organic
$2.95 – $26.10
Family: Carrot (Apiaceae)
Chantenay dates back to France in the 1800’s, a 5-inch-long, wide-shouldered and blunt-tipped carrot that does well in rocky or heavy soils. Red-cored, sweet and carroty! Carrots are biennial cultigens that are grown as summer annuals to produce the tender yet crispy root known as the “carrot.” The high coloration indicates concentration of life-giving carotenoids, pigmented compounds high in vitamin A and antioxidants. This variety resists splitting and makes a spicily yummy juice. Prepare a fine seedbed and make furrows with your fingers and sow lightly. Barely cover seed and tamp in, then keep evenly moist until germination. Thin to 2 inches apart and cultivate often until they size up.
Packet contains 200 seeds

Susan James (verified owner) –
Can I plant these in February in a Z9? Temps now reaching into the high 50’s with afternoon sun. Assuming these carrots are orange per the picture?

Hi Susan, Thanks for contacting, Yes, spring comes early in a z 9 and carrots are quite amenable to soils of widely divergent temps. The photos on our website are photos we took of the actual plant. richo
