Carrots - Chantenay Seed Tape (Seeds)
A reliable, time-tested carrot variety, Chantenay carrots are especially well suited to fall growing, as cooler temperatures help enhance their naturally sweet flavour. These carrots produce broad-shouldered, tapered orange roots measuring approximately 12–15 cm (5–6") long and perform exceptionally well in heavier or less-than-ideal soils.
Excellent for cooking, freezing, and long-term storage, Chantenay carrots are a true workhorse in the garden.
Seed tape makes sowing quick and easy, ensuring proper spacing and uniform growth.
