Nantes Coreless Carrot

Nantes Coreless Carrot Seeds

Nantes Coreless Carrot Seeds are a top choice for gardeners seeking a high-quality, heirloom variety. These seeds produce bright orange carrot roots that average 6 inches in length and up to 1.5 inches in diameter. Known for their consistently cylindrical shape, smooth skin, and blunt ends, Nantes Coreless Carrots are tender, crisp, and almost coreless, making them perfect for juicing.

First described in 1885, this variety has a high moisture content and is ideal for late-season harvesting. To grow, sow seeds about 0.3 to 0.6 inches deep in rows spaced 18 to 24 inches apart. Keep the seedbed evenly moist during the 2-week germination period and thin seedlings to 2 inches apart during early growth stages. Harvest when the roots develop a rich color for the best flavor and texture.
