Scarlet Nantes is the most popular and dependable home garden carrot variety. Roots are sweet and tender yet incredibly crisp. Bright orange in color and nearly coreless, these are ideal for freezing. Please Note: Seed tapes require consistent moisture to ensure best germination.
Seeding Instructions: Prepare the soil for planting. Make shallow rows 13 mm (1/2") deep and 45 cm (18") apart. Tear strips apart and unroll into rows. Water the seed tape thoroughly, then cover with soil and water thoroughly again. Uniform soil moisture is critical. Plant in fertile well drained soil. Repeat sowings every 2 weeks until mid-summer for continuous supply of fresh carrots. For best flavor, harvest when roots are not more than 5 cm (2") in diameter.
Days to germination: from 10 to 14
Days to maturity: about 70
