Rainbow Carrot Seeds bring an exquisite palette of colors to your garden, transforming your culinary creations with their vibrant hues and diverse flavors. This delightful seed mix includes five distinct carrot varieties, each uniquely colored and perfect for both gourmet baby carrots and full-sized roots. Embrace the joy of harvesting a colorful bounty of rainbow carrots and the surprise of unearthing Atomic Red, Cosmic Purple, Solar Yellow, Lunar White, and Bambino carrots, each with its own perfect crunch and rich taste.
Cultivating Rainbow Blend Carrot Seeds is an invitation to elevate your home gardening and dining experience. Rich in vitamins A and B, calcium, and phosphorus, these carrots surpass the nutritional value of their store-bought counterparts. Their green tops are equally nutritious, offering a fresh garnish for soups, stews, and cooked dishes.
For optimal growth, sow these seeds directly into well-prepared, workable soil in spring, continuing every few weeks until midsummer. Carrots thrive in cooler weather and require loose, moist soil to prevent splitting. With minimal care, focusing on soil preparation and consistent moisture, these carrots are virtually trouble-free.
For baby carrots, sow seeds 2 inches apart, lightly covering them with soil. For full-sized roots, space the seeds an inch apart, thinning as necessary, or plant them 4 to 6 inches apart from the start. Companion planting with onions can enhance their growth and flavor.
Embrace the vibrant world of rainbow carrots with a blend of Rainbow Carrot Seeds, a cornerstone of any kitchen garden that promises a colorful and tasty harvest.
