Sow Parisian Carrot directly into a loose, stone-free seedbed and keep the shallow seed zone evenly moist through the potentially extended germination period. Thin seedlings to the recorded spacing so roots have room to size and straighten. Avoid disturbing established roots by transplanting. As maturity approaches, inspect root shoulders and harvest at the diameter and texture you prefer. Mark the sowing date because soil temperature and seasonal conditions can move actual harvest timing.

The smooth skin and crisp texture make these carrots easy to clean and prepare, while their sweet taste delights gardeners and chefs alike.

Parisian Carrots are not only a practical choice for tight spaces but also a visually appealing addition to your vegetable garden.

Eat these adorable French heirlooms raw or give them a quick steam.

Before sowing Parisian Carrot, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.

Planting & Care

Soil & Water: Carrots prefer light, deeply tilled soils with plenty of added organic matter, good drainage, a pH range of 6.0-6.6, and regular water. Parisienne is forgiving of compacted soil. Apply a mulch layer once established to keep roots cool. Carrots develop best at a soil temperature of 60-70°F.

Planting & Growing: Seed directly 2-3 weeks before the last frost. Carrots germinate quickly at a soil temperatures of 75°F, but will germinate in soils as cold as 45°F just more slowly. Mix the small seeds with dry coffee grounds or sand to improve seed distribution. Over planting requires thinning to provide sufficient growing room.

Harvesting & Storage: If necessary, loosen soil to pull carrots without breaking off tops. Trim off foliage to extend storage time. Layer roots in a container with paper towels and store in cool, moist conditions. Also good for canning or freezing.
