Just like the popular orange carrots, red, purple, and yellow carrots contain plenty of vitamin A and other healthful nutrients. Carnival Blend carrots can also be harvested when only 3"–4" long for gourmet baby carrots.

Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until 10 to 12 weeks before your average first fall frost date. In very warm climates, carrots are grown primarily in fall, winter, and spring.

Growing Info

Harvesting: For best flavor and texture, harvest carrots any time before, and until they reach their optimal size. Peak harvest period lasts about 3 weeks, longer in the fall. Late summer-sown carrots are sweetened after having been kissed by light frost; however, harvest before soil freezes, which may destroy the crop. In USDA zone 5 or warmer, carrots can be left in the ground for storage provided they are heavily mulched; harvest as needed on days the ground is not frozen.

    So happy with the results! Work for a resort and I was in charge of planting and harvesting the garden.

    Excellent germination rate. These are also next to my cosmic purple that did just as well.

    I love growing these, they all taste different! Many different opinions in the Whanau on, which one has the best flavor. 😆Really good just roasted whole in the oven.
