Parisian Carrots - Easy to Grow in Compacted Soils
Carrot - Parisian - Daucus carota
Biennial Heirloom. Round, small, and bursting with sweetness. Eat these adorable French heirlooms raw or give them a quick steam. Easy to grow even in compacted soil since they don’t have to put down deep roots. Try these if you previously had bad luck with carrots.

Apply a mulch layer once established to keep roots cool. Carrots develop best at a soil temperature of 60-70°F.

Mix the small seeds with dry coffee grounds or sand to improve seed distribution. Over planting requires thinning to provide sufficient growing room.

Parisian carrots, also known as "Paris Market" or "Tonda di Parigi," are a unique and delightful addition to the world of carrots. These miniature carrots have their own distinct charm and culinary potential.
Characteristics of Parisian Carrots
Parisian carrots are known for their petite size and round, almost spherical shape. Unlike traditional long carrots, these carrots are compact, making them an excellent choice for small gardens or container gardening. Here are some key characteristics of Parisian carrots:
Size: Parisian carrots typically reach a diameter of about 1 to 1.5 inches when fully mature, making them perfect for snacking or adding to dishes as a decorative element.
Color: They feature a vibrant orange hue, much like their larger counterparts, and have a smooth, uniform skin.
Flavor: Parisian carrots offer a sweet and crisp texture, making them a delightful addition to salads, stir-fries, and other culinary creations.
Culinary Uses
Parisian carrots can add a unique touch to your culinary endeavors. Their small size and sweet flavor make them versatile in the kitchen. Here are some creative ways to use Parisian carrots in your dishes:
Snacking: These mini carrots are perfect for snacking. Their small size makes them easy to dip in hummus, ranch dressing, or other favorite dips.
Salads: Add a pop of color and flavor to your salads by slicing or grating Parisian carrots and tossing them with other fresh vegetables.
Roasting: Roasting Parisian carrots with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of herbs can bring out their natural sweetness and create a delicious side dish.
Garnishes: Use Parisian carrots as decorative garnishes for dishes like coleslaw, sandwiches, or appetizers. Their round shape adds visual appeal to your presentations.
Growing Parisian Carrots
If you're interested in cultivating Parisian carrots in your garden, here are some essential tips to consider:
Soil Preparation: Parisian carrots thrive in well-drained, loose soil. Prepare the soil by removing stones and debris to ensure the carrots have room to grow evenly.
Planting: Sow Parisian carrot seeds directly into the garden bed or container, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Ensure the seeds are planted at the right depth, approximately ¼ inch deep.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Carrots benefit from even moisture to prevent cracking or splitting.
Thinning: As the carrots begin to grow, thin them out to provide ample space for each to develop fully. Leave about 2-3 inches of space between each carrot.
Harvesting: Parisian carrots are typically ready for harvest within 50-60 days after sowing. Gently pull them from the soil when they reach their mature size.
Storage: Store harvested Parisian carrots in a cool, dark place. They can stay fresh for several weeks when stored correctly.
Parisian carrots offer a charming and flavorful addition to your garden and kitchen. Their petite size, vibrant color, and sweet taste make them a versatile choice for snacking, salads, roasting, and garnishing. With the right growing conditions and care, you can enjoy these delightful mini carrots in your culinary creations, adding a touch of elegance and flavor to your dishes.

Planted these in the Spring of 2018. It's June and I just pulled up a small one to taste test - a very carrot-y flavor! They are planted in a shallow planter and doing well. I am happy with the results so far...but will leave them in ground a while longer to see how big they get.
I've never had much luck with carrots because of heavy soil, but these have a great germ rate and have grown quickly, doubling in size much faster than I expected. Hopeful for actual carrots this year!
Let customers speak for us
from 9200 reviewsI grow this in old litter boxes for a bunny & Guinea pig rescue- it is a great treat! Grows fast, thick and moist. I also grow it in my catio for my cats
High quality saffron corms that shipped when they said they would. They started sprouting in my cabinet within a week so definitely plant them quickly after receiving.
They looked good when the plants arrived. Waiting for planters to transplant so they'll have more room, but not planting in the garden to avoid the mint from spreading all over. They're still alive....
Beautiful seed garlic
This tree takes a lot of patience, both in years to fully fruit out and in terms of how late in the season the peaches finally ripen, - the end of September here in zone 5b, - but boy are they amazing when they come in! I have two other peach trees, - Redhaven and Reliance, which have wonderful fruit, but these Indian Free White peaches are amazing. The aroma alone is incredible. These also have thicker skins, more "fuzz," which you can rub off, and are a bit on the acidic side, but OH so yummy! I have gotten raves from the farmers who tried them.
Been using this for last couple growing season. Works wonders for the garden.
This hose gets dragged over bark and around raised garden beds, and also over concrete and a weedy hillside to water a couple trees. So far it has performed well and there aren't any leaks or kinks!
I have not had a chance to plant these yet as it’s still a little early. Package came quickly and garlic was beautiful, can’t wait to plant it.
This is a great addition to my veg garden area!
These branch supports work well, are sturdy, and relatively cheap. While you do have to provide your own poles, you can buy wooden or metal ones of your needed length at hardware or home improvement stores. We ordered ten at first and then bought ten more after seeing how the first ones worked.
Of course I wanted a hand made wooden trug, but they are expensive! This plastic one is easy to clean, and the perfect size. I love the drainage holes.
No lightweight nonsense here! These are the one of the industry standards in tree pots and they have become our go to on the tree farm. You will find lightweight look-a-likes out there, but most only serve one time use. These have held up for years and been used multiple times in some cases.
This has become one of my new favorites for all around propagation. From seeds to cuttings we use this mix for our fig trees and have had unbelievable success. The mix is formulated for strong and fast root development. No complaints about it!
These trays are great. Everything is ready to go.
I use them for cuttings and seed starting and haven't been disappointed yet.
I had the frustration of having my dog dig up my citrus trees and figs out of their containers. I was furious. This granular repellent has stopped the dog completely. So now, the dog can stay.
