Tendersweet | Fresh Harvest of Premium Heirloom Carrot Seeds

Tendersweet Carrot is a prized heirloom introduced in 1928. This Imperator-type variety is known for its sweet, fine-grained, nearly coreless reddish-orange flesh, which retains its color when cooked, canned, or frozen. Slender, blunt-tipped roots grow 8–10 inches long, with dark-green tops reaching 12–20 inches.

Germination: 6-21 days

Maturity: 70-75 days after Transplanting

Species: Daucus carota

Quantity: 0.50 g (approx. 270) Premium Heirloom Seeds

Appearance: Produces long, slightly club-shaped fruit with smooth, glossy, deep-purple skin. Mature fruit measures approximately 8–10 inches long and 2–3 inches wide.

Flavor & Uses: Mild, sweet, and tender, with creamy-white flesh, few seeds, and minimal bitterness. Its thin skin and slender shape are ideal for grilling, frying, roasting, baking, slicing, and layered dishes.

Growth Habit: Vigorous, upright, bushy plants typically reach 2–3 ft. and produce abundantly throughout the warm season. Stakes or cages help support fruit-laden branches.

Growing Notes: Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost. Transplant after frost danger has passed and the soil has warmed. Grow in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, maintaining consistent moisture. For the best flavor and texture, harvest while the skin remains glossy.
