About This Variety

Meet This Variety

Carrot Seeds are for a cool-season root crop in deep, loose, well-drained garden soil. Direct sow in a prepared vegetable bed and keep the surface evenly moist during germination.

Thin seedlings to create room for root development and keep the bed free of competing weeds. Carrots suit vegetable gardens, raised beds, and containers deep enough for the roots to grow.
