Rainbow Mix Carrots give you a row of surprise—purple, red, yellow, white, and orange roots, each with its own twist on sweetness and crunch. Anthocyanins, lycopene, and beta‑carotene ride in those colors. Sow shallowly in loose soil, keep beds moist (germination is slow), and thin early for straight roots. Roast a panful and you’ll taste the nuance; kids love pulling “mystery” colors. Beauty and nutrition in every handful.

How to Grow

Plant seeds directly in the garden in early spring starting about 2 weeks before average last frost date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 50-85 degrees. Thin seedlings when they are about 1" high. Successive sowings can be made every two to three weeks. Do not plant if crop will mature in the heat of summer as it may result in poor quality carrots. Planting can resume late summer for a fall harvest. Cut off all but 1" off tops before storing. Even at optimum temperature carrot seed can take up to 18 days to germinate.
