Daucus carota var. sativus

Seed type: OP

Chantenay Red produces medium length, wedge-shaped roots with strong tops. Grows well in most – even shallow or heavy textured – soils, and is suitable for growing 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 fly away.
