Paris Market Carrot Seeds
Bring a touch of French heritage to your garden with Paris Market Carrot seeds! This charming, round-rooted heirloom seed variety thrives in shallow, clay-rich, or rocky soil where longer carrots might struggle, and it’s just as happy growing in container gardens. With its sweet, full flavour and eye-catching shape, it’s no wonder this carrot seed is a favourite of gourmet chefs.
Perfect for roasting whole, adding to soups, or enjoying raw, Paris Market carrots are as versatile in the kitchen as they are resilient in the garden. They’re a fantastic healthy snack, and their sweetness and flavour go well with rich, creamy dips.
Pair these seeds with cucumber seeds and radish seeds to create a productive veggie patch with a variety of bold flavours. Explore Mr Fothergill’s vegetable seeds for more culinary favourites!
How To Grow
Sow Paris Market Carrot seeds 5mm (1/4in) deep directly into a well-prepared garden bed or container filled with quality soil. Space rows or blocks 20cm (8in) apart, and cover the seeds lightly with fine soil, firming it gently. Water thoroughly after sowing to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Seedlings usually emerge within 10-14 days.
Once seedlings are established, thin them out to 5cm (2in) apart to allow room for the roots to develop their distinctive round shape. Keep the soil moist and the area weed-free to promote healthy growth. These carrots are well-suited to shallow or challenging soils and respond well to consistent care. Harvest your Paris Market carrots 10-12 weeks after sowing, selecting them when they are fully formed but still tender.
