Grow a dependable, sweet, and versatile garden staple with our Chantenay Red Cored Carrot seeds! Renowned among heirloom growers since the late 1800s, this stocky, broad-shouldered classic produces vibrant golden-orange roots measuring 5 to 7 inches long and up to 2 inches wide at the crown. Unlike slender carrot varieties that struggle in dense ground, Chantenay Red Cored is famous for its ability to thrive in heavier or shallower soils without forking. Packed with crisp texture, deep reddish-orange interior color, and rich sweetness that intensifies after a light frost, these carrots are ideal for fresh snacking, roasting, winter root-cellar storage, and home canning.

⭐ What you'll love

  • Stocky, broad-shouldered 5 to 7 inch roots uniquely suited for heavier or shallower garden soils.
  • Crisp, fine-grained flesh with a deep reddish-orange core and rich, sweet carrot flavor.
  • Cold-hardy performance; flavor becomes even sweeter after experiencing a light autumn frost.
  • Exceptional versatility for fresh eating, roasting, freezing, canning, and winter storage.

🌱 Growing instructions

  • Sowing: Direct sow outdoors 3-5 weeks prior to the final spring frost, or sow in late summer for a fall crop. Avoid transplanting, as disturbing the taproot causes stunted or crooked roots.
  • Note on Soaking: If pre-soaking seeds prior to sowing, both seeds that float and seeds that sink will be viable.
  • Depth: Sow seeds 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep in fine soil.
  • Germination: Maintain consistent surface moisture until sprouts emerge in 10-21 days.
  • Thinning & Spacing: Thin seedlings to 2 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart. Snip excess seedlings at soil level rather than pulling them to protect adjacent root systems.
  • Light Requirement: Full Sun to Partial Shade.
  • Care: Work soil loose prior to planting for uniform root shape. Provide steady moisture (around 1 inch weekly). Roots can remain in the ground through light frosts for peak sweetness.
