Carrot, Chantenay - Seeds
Daucus carota sp. Chantenay
Common carrot variety with a conical shape, about 13 cm long and roughly 4.5 cm at its widest point, completely orange.
The Chantenay Carrot is a traditional variety known for its short, thick, well-shaped roots, displaying a deep orange color and firm texture. Its sturdy conical shape makes it especially suitable for heavy or stony soils, where other carrot types may become misshapen. It offers a sweet, aromatic and balanced flavor, perfect for fresh use, everyday cooking or soups.
It is a hardy and reliable plant, producing consistent harvests even in low-maintenance home gardens.
How to sow Chantenay Carrot seeds
Sow directly in the ground, covering seeds with 0.5-1 cm of soil. Keep the surface moist until seedlings emerge, usually within 12 to 20 days depending on temperature. Ideal germination range is 10-20 °C. Space rows 20-30 cm apart and thin seedlings to 5-7 cm to produce well-shaped roots. Choose loose, well-prepared soil and water regularly to prevent tough or fibrous carrots.
