Chantenay Royal

Description

Daucus carota

A chantenay-type carrot that produces medium length, wedge-shaped roots with strong tops. Grows well in most soils, even if they are shallow or heavy textured, so this is the carrot to grow if you don’t have the perfect carrot-growing soil. It also does very well in containers. Can be sown at high populations to produce baby carrots, and at lower populations to produce larger, more standard-sized roots.

Sow from April to mid-July outdoors. To protect from carrot root fly, delay sowing until early June, or use a fleece, mesh or other barrier to keep the flies at bay.

Approx. number of seeds per pack: 1,000
