Carrot - Nantes Seeds

Carrot - Nantes Seeds (Daucus carota)
Nantes is a classic heirloom carrot variety loved for its uniform shape, excellent flavour, and smooth texture. It produces bright orange, nearly coreless, cylindrical roots that grow up to 18cm long. The roots are sweet, crunchy, and tender—ideal for fresh eating, juicing, cooking, or long-term storage.

Because of its consistent size and flavour, Nantes is a favourite among home gardeners and market growers alike. The roots store well after harvest and maintain their sweetness and texture for an extended period.

Tips for Best Results

• Avoid high nitrogen fertilisers as they may cause forking or excessive top growth.
