Growing Information
Growing Red-Cored Chantenay Heirloom Carrot
‘Red-Cored Chantenay’ is a classic heirloom carrot known for its broad shoulders, sturdy stump-rooted shape, and dependable yields. The red-orange roots are richly colored throughout, with tender flesh and a sweet, delicate flavor. Their shorter, thicker shape also makes this variety especially well suited for heavy or shallow soils where longer carrots may struggle.
Sow ‘Red-Cored Chantenay’ directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants 2 to 4 inches apart and grow in full sun to partial shade. This cold-tolerant variety also performs well in containers.
Ready to harvest in about 68 days, begin checking the roots as they approach maturity and pull them once they reach your preferred size while they are still crisp and tender.
Sweet, tender, and versatile, ‘Red-Cored Chantenay’ is excellent for fresh eating, dicing, canning, and storage.
