Scarlet Nantes Carrot:
(Daucus carota var. sativus)
The Scarlet Nantes has a reputation for abundant production and a consistent quality that offers up crisp texture and sweet flavor. The roots, which average about 6” long, are bright orange and
cylindrical to slightly tapered. These seeds will germinate in soils as cool as 45 degrees, and in the fall they can still be dug from the garden until the ground freezes.

Serving Size: 1 Medium, raw (78.0 g)
Germination Notes:
Before sowing, soak seeds in water
for 12 hours. Place wet seeds
between paper towels then press
and dry to reduce clumping.
Containers:
Allow for a 2 gallon container.
Plants should be thinned 2-3 inches
apart.
Seed Saving:
Biennial carrots will cross pollinate, so isolate ¼
mile from other carrots and Queen Anne’s Lace the
second year when going to seed. Harvest before a
hard frost in the fall. Trim tops to 1-inch then store
roots in slightly damp leaves, sand or sawdust, in a
root cellar, during the winter season. Replant in
spring then harvest seed heads when dry.
